I'm considering attempting to set up an Intel Mac Mini as a |
| 2 |
MythTV frontend. Right now I'm thinking I'll leave the |
| 3 |
internal drive alone and boot from net or from a USB flash |
| 4 |
drive. That way I can spin down the internal HD and save on |
| 5 |
power and noise (and the standard OS-X install is still there, |
| 6 |
so it can be trivially switched back to normal desktop use). |

I've been googling for info on running Linux on a Mac Mini, and |
| 9 |
there was fairly active discussion 3-4 years ago, but very |
| 10 |
little recent info. That leads me to either of two |
| 11 |
conclusions: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) It can't be done and everybody gave up. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2) It's so trivial that people no longer need to ask about it. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So, how hard would it be to do a USB or network-based Gentoo |
| 18 |
install for a recent Intel Mac Mini? |
