Yes.

hi,
really a strange situations.
Try to boot with a different distro's boot iso (like Gentoo or Crux).
So you can understand if it's a problem related to the iso or the

Hi there,
I am trying to install Debian 5.0.5 on a used MacMini G4.
I have followed instructions from:
http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
However I could not get the MacMini to boot onto the debian installer.
I tried the:
- 'C' holding approach (does not work at all)
- 'Options'
Mac Mini.
I hope this helps you. Debian on old Macs rocks.
