I saw mentioned in this thread that there's an effort to support EFI, and that's great, but not necessarily as important as it once was. While Apple does make use of EFI, rEFIt really isn't needed these days either. The primary reason that everything is so easier in the today's world is that Apple firmware versions contain (surprise!) a BIOS compatibility mode. This make everything /significantly/ easier. Here's something I put together for installing Debian on a Mac Mini. It should also be valid for any Intel-based Mac, and should also apply to gNewSense since it's now going to be based on Debian. http://wiki.debian.org/MacMiniIntel _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
