Hi there.
Is working from Boot-CD on old Apple IMac 2006 (the white ones) and 2007 (Alu IMac).
Even wlan is working! Very good!
I tried to install on 2007 - use entire internal disk - shows 'Windows' boot disk (also boot cd shows 'Windows'), but does not boot the internal installation?

I then tried it on 2006 IMac - this time did NOT use entire disk - used EFI and spare partition - not touching Mac OSX 10.6 partion.
This time an boot menu, Mac OSX partion was shown and dsl 'Windows' partion.
And this time 'Windows' booted into dsl 2024.

Wish Apple, there are many things that must be meet correctly, to be able to boot - so this needs some more investigation some time..

Many thanks, for revival of the good old dsl ;-)
I like the CD max 700MB approach as well as the nice background image.

Now the next question will be, howto install a usable, actual web browser into the hdd installation.

Thx, Peter

You should be able to use apt to install Firefox

Yes. That works.
Same for: build-essential libsdl2-dev
Space required with all 3 now at 3.5GB on hdd.
