Installation

[mattarmstead]

Hi all,

Really struggling to install mint 13 on my iMac 2008

I have a broken dvd drive and an external working drive

I have used disk utility via mac osx to create a new partition and have tried to install either with a disc or with a usb stick made bootable with unetbootin.

No luck

I have installed win 7 and tried to install.

No luck.

Every time I try any install I can either not see lived in mac or cannot reboot into linux install via win 7

I have installed refit and still no joy.

Really want linux as my only os on my old imac.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Matthew

hey i'm new and having trouble too. I don't know if this will help any, but it was better than netbootin. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=96503 I figured it'd be worth a shot.

You might want to try the Plop Linux boot manager to see if it can find your Live flash drive.

Thanks,

Problem solved.

Was using a wireless keyboard

After connecting wired one I had no problems.
