http://forums.fedoraforum.org – This post is intended to be an archive on my efforts to run Fedora on the Apple Mac Mini. I will primarily be working with the 2010 Mac Mini with Nvidia graphics (MacMini4,1) and the 2011 Mac Mini with ATI graphics (MacMini5,2). The good news is that the installation of Fedora 18 on MacMini5,2 is quite painless. I just used the x86_64 netinstall ISO, used 'dd' to copy it to a flash drive, and installed Fedora 18. Everything Just Worked as far as I could tell, including sound. Wireless worked after downloading ans installing the proper firmware. The bad news is that I was not able to use the p (HowTos)

Fedora 17 on Mac Mini 5,1? 35 weeks 5 days ago

I have been trying to boot the Fedora 17 installer on my 2011 Mac Mini (model MacMini5,1) without success. Has anyone else attempted this? I am using the network installer, I downloaded the iso and copied it to a USB drive. The boot begins but then hangs partway through the installation.

Apple has just updated the Mac Mini to a new, faster configuration with Intel Core i5 or i7 with Ivy Bridge as well as up to a terabyte of hard drive space. The Mini also comes in a server configuration for $999 with a faster processor. This model can hold up to 16GB of RAM and it supports Bluetooth. It also has an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU in a package Mini fans will recognize.

I just installed Fedora as a dual-boot (other OS in Win7) on my Dell Inspiron 1750 and, of course, the wireless card is missing firmware.

The wireless card is called Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card. When I run lspci on Fedora it says that the card is a BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01).

I made a new Fedora 17 (64 bit) install on my clevo p180HM laptop and there is no sound!: It worked on Fedora 16 (64 bit) with the newest available kernel 3.4.x but on Fedora 17 no chance.

Hello everybody! I'm looking for a smartphone to buy, but I can't choose between Ace and Mini 2. Wich one is better for the battery life time? If you already have one of them, then which do You recommend? I know, that Ace has a better camera and a flash, but it's older and slower than Mini 2. Mini 2 has a battery capacity which is less than Ace's, but screen is less too.

Anyone have any luck getting Fedora 18 network drivers to work with a Mac Mini late 2012 (macmini6,2)?

I've downloaded the broadcom driver source from http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethe...me_desktop.php but can't get it to make. Too many compile errors to list here.

How long typically before new NICs are supported in the kernel?

Fedora 17 no network connection 32 weeks 13 hours ago

I just recently partitioned a laptop running widows 7 with Fedora 17. The wireless adapter on the computer is a DW1503 Wireless-N Half-Mini card. I am unable to get both wired and wireless connections when I boot to Fedora. When running an ifconfig I can see a p1p1 interface show up, but i'm not sure what that means either. Any Suggestions on what can be done?

Already a popular home theatre rig with many Mac fans, the made-over Mac Mini now sports HDMI output and enhanced Nvidia graphics plus a sleeker unibody aluminium case.
