That's clever. I'll have to give it a go one day. Does it support journalled HFS+? The Mac Mini ships with a single journalled HFS+ partition spanning the entire disk. I'm not sure how journalling was implemented in HFS+, presumably it's backwards-compatible? > 2) you say "Build an optimized kernel".

Is there no performance difference resulting from removing the PPC 601 sync workarounds, which are built into the Debian kernel but not necessary on the G4? The kernel documentation for "CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX" says "These extra instructions reduce performance slightly". You are quite right, though, the kernel shipped by Debian does work very well on the mini, and there is no pressing reason to replace it. I've changed the phrasing to make it sound less like a recommendation. It now reads: "If you wish to build your own kernel, here is my kernel .config for 2.6.9, which you may find useful. Building a new kernel is very quick and simple with the Debian tools, just install "kernel-package" and follow the documentation."
