I would like to do a How-To on installing CentOS 5 as the "only" OS on an new intel mac mini. The Machine: 1.83 Ghz Core 2 Duo 4 Gig Ram 320 Gig Hard Drive DVD/CDRW Intel 950 Apple USB Keyboard Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. 20" Apple Cinema Display (DVI) Complete apple system. Why? I prefer running Linux on Apple Hardware. I would like to help people save time that want to do the same. The goal is to provide a step-by-step showing how simple it can be. I would like to have this posted under the how-to section of the site. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's of course a good idea to create a dedicated page for the mac mini. What's your wiki NickName ? Ralph : can you give him access to that page ? We'll have maybe to create a dedicated Apple/Mac section and then move my MacTel page to that section and rename it imac. Ralph is the boss on the wiki ;-) -- - Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin at arrfab.net> "Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ..."
