Re: Installing Linux or Cloud Ready on my late 2006 Mac Mini
Re: Installing Linux or Cloud Ready on my late 2006 Mac Mini Okay, any ideas for another accessible lightweight distro that's actually 32-bit? I thought this 32-bit ISO would work. It seems a bit dumb that a 32-bit ISO requires 64-bit UEFI firmware. I thought it was intended to run on really old machines with low amounts of RAM.

Re: Installing Linux or Cloud Ready on my late 2006 Mac Mini http://coderazzi.net/linux/macmini2006/macmini.htm says,---This is a 32-bit EFI Mac, and its just refuses to boot from a UEFI(X64)+BIOS bootable CD/DVD, which as it goes, is the format of the Ubuntu server installation disc. There is a solution: to remove UEFI support from the CD first.---I am not sure if the same applies to a 32-bit ISO image though. Try booting an older distro as a debugging step perhaps.

Re: Installing Linux or Cloud Ready on my late 2006 Mac Mini
Re: Installing Linux or Cloud Ready on my late 2006 Mac Mini Does anyone know why this doesn't work? This pisses me off like you wouldn't believe. Apple has deemed this machine obsolete. I can't run modern versions of Windows because they're RAM hungry and I'd most likely have driver issues. I thought this 32-bit distro of Linux was supposed to work, but the damn machine keeps ejecting the disk. I also get the same issue when using the Jenux installer. What's going on? Is it an issue with the UEFI/BIOS? I can't find any solutions to this and it pisses me off that this computer is just sitting around when it works beautifully. All I want to do is use a modern lightweight operating system on it to do some web browsing or turn it into a file server or what ever else. I can't install CloudReady because it's too big to fit on a DVD and won't boot from USB. The only operating systems I can install are outdated versions of OS X and Windows XP.
