After the software update was done, the Mac Mini booted up just fine under Snow Leopard and I was up and running.

The external Apple drive I borrowed wouldn’t work with my MacBook (my brother claims it needs some sort of special non-standard high voltage USB ports) so I had to use the big clunky one with a SATA to USB converter.Ĭrazily enough, all that worked! I used my MacBook’s install CDs to put Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini and then booted the MacBook up so that I could do a software update. I replaced the optical drive in my MacBook with an SSD so I had to hook up an external drive to boot off of. It’s connected to the FireWire port of my MacBook (seen here booting off the CD-yeah, I “nvram boot-args=-v” because I’m hard core!). The Mac Mini is in FireWire target mode (boot up holding the “t” key down”).

Here’s a look at the setup involved: The Convoluted Install

Luckily I found out from this article that Snow Leopard runs just fine, but can be a little tricky to install. It turns out that they revved the Mac Mini back in July, just after Lion was released. The next part was tricky: I had to get Snow Leopard installed on it. I thought about taking a picture in front of the Apple Store itself but got embarrassed at the cheesiness of it and chickened out. Here’s a picture of me posing dorkily with it: Me and the new Mac Mini So on Friday I took a trip to the Apple store and bought a Mac Mini. It made me worry that I’d have to sit around for the better part of a month before being able to get at the money but it turns out Funded By Me let me take an early payment since I had hit my required minimum. In fact, I even got Lena, my awesome contact at Funded By Me, to lower the minimum donation amount to $5 because I didn’t expect anyone to actually donate more than that! I had set the campaign to run for 30 days-further evidence of my underestimation of the Free Software users out there. I set it up and then decided to start publicizing it on a Friday and by the end of the following Monday all the money had been raised! I was blown away by people’s generosity-I hadn’t people to donate so much so quickly.

I recently used Funded By Me to help raise some money for a new build server for Emacs for Mac OS X.
