Hi I am happily running Debian (and for the last few months Kubuntu) on my MacMini. To get more space for my work I got rid of my MacOSX partition about half a year ago. In order to use the newest lyx version (and to get a chance of running testing/unstable again) I tried the Beta1 of the lenny installer.
Installation went fine (picked up the needed bits from my preseed nicely). As I forgot that I cannot use GRUB (?) I just let the installer continue. After installing grub I had a harddisk which did not boot at all. After browsing around for quite some time I was able to get to boot again after: - booting from the Beta1-CD using rescue - opened a shell into my newly installed system (/dev/sda2) $ apt-get install refit $ gptsync /dev/sda # Manually accepting $ exit - continue (sometimes using the back button) using the install system to install lilo - umounted in the shell /dev/sda2, eject the cd, manually reset the power Then my MacMini booted into lenny and I am enjoying my life again! As my home partition is on a separate device, i had all settings. X was configured correctly (even for my unusal 1680x1050 TFT monitor). Sounds work! Really great. As I am now quite confident that I can quite rapidly test the MacMiniIntel installation I would like to help make installation of Debian a seamless experience. Is there somewhere around who could tell me what tests to run and then would fix the installer? I even happen to have a second MacMiniIntel around, where the children (unfortunately quite often) use MacOSX, which is installed beside a GNU/Debian etch installation. E.g. I do not even know against which package I have to report this bug. Best regards -- Niklaus Giger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
