I have Snow Leopard running on my Mac Mini (the i5 2011 Lion equiped version with Intel graphics.) As I remember it, it required swapping drives, tweaking a few config files and copying of drivers. It runs really well (off an external USB drive), despite not being officially supported. So assuming there is a tutorial, it's not impossible, nor is it hard if you can follow the steps and aren't scared of Terminal.app. M Sent from my iPad -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
