HD Install :: mac mini

just curious if dsl can boot and be installed on the apple mac mini?

Yeah, Im doing it right now. I use virtual PC and it boots right up. I love my Mac Mini, now I only run linux and OSX on all my computers, no Winblows!

I have a mac mini as well. I'm trying to get networking working on DSL 1.2.1 runing via the iso-image in virtual pc 7. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? It is running just fine, but networking won't work.

I am thinking about buying either a new Mini-Mac (Intel) or an ASUS Pundit P1-AH2 barebone system.

Can the Mini-Mac directly boot DSL from an USB-pen-drive ?

Anyone has experience with the ASUS Pundit P1-AH2 barebone system?
Can this boot DSL from an USB-pen-drive ?

No, the Mac Mini will not boot from usb without a third party program, a EFI bootloader like rEFIt or Elilo. Even then, I am not sure. Best option is burn dsl or dsl-n to a cd and go to the apple store to see if it boots off the cd (Unless they disabled boot from cd there). I'd check, but alas, I lack a newer intel based Mac.
