Re: Old debian-mac-*-netinst.iso images

Hello list,

Today an article [1] mentioned that the last MacMini with Intel (2018) 
is now considered 'vintage', and the other MacMini models are already 
'obsolete' [2].

I recently tried to boot a MacMini 4.1 (from 2010) with a live image 
based on sid from a simulated CD-ROM device.
It boots in the 'Windows' mode, but not in the UEFI mode.
The 12.10 GNOME live image boots in both modes.

I haven't tried to use any of the netinst images yet.

Do you think it is worth the effort to reactivate support for this hardware?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
