Install linux on mac mini3/20/2024 The Debian net-install i386 ISO for mac installs the base Debian linux only and requires internet connection so that it would download other desktop or server components. Thus my Debian 8.7 is installed on an entire SSD without any issue with dual boot problem. In my case, I have replaced the existing HD installed with Mac OS X by a blank unformatted 64GB SSD. I have now installed Debian 8.7 (pretty up to date) on my MAc Mini 1,1. I thus googled around and found a Debian net-install i386 ISO specially made for mac with one bootloader. Otherwise, the firmware will be confused and the ISO cannot be booted. It says that Mac Mini 1,1 firmware is very choosy - there must be only one bootloader in the ISO. After failing to install Ubuntu or Xubuntu to my Mac Mini 1,1 (very old hardware version) from a Ubuntu or Xubuntu i386 ISO burnt on a DVD, I have stumbled on a webpage with very useful information.
