Definitely something I want to try when I have money to buy a new/larger SSD for my mini 9...

Unless of course it can be installed/built on a USB drive (has a 20GB and a 30GB...)...

Yeah, have been reading there although not a great deal. I just downloaded the DVD and gave it a shot. Had a few problems before that I couldn't seem to solve but whilst we were sitting around yesterday I thought I'd give it another go and seems to have run fine

Only thing that could put a stop to it all is that I can't get wireless working yet. Not had a big dig around yet but initial outlook appears bleak

Will take a look and see how far I get though.

That was the problem I had with my original hackindell and I ended up having to use an external wireless card, I just couldn't make it work on the internal card at all.

Keep meaning to throw this on the Mini 9 to see how it rides on a little screen. Any good links Des?

Oh man, the Mini 9 is absolutely perfect for it. *clicky*

Cheers Feek

I did change the wireless card to an Intel I had knocking around, hopefully that wont cause me pain.

Might do - Apple's wireless chipset selection is rather restrictive.

In Tiger there's a couple Atheros drivers and a Broadcom driver. Don't know about anything newer (yet).

Well 10.6.2 has hit and early indications are that it is killing Atom netbooks but replacing the 106.2 kernel with the 10.6.1 kernel works. I'm sure there will be some custom installers out within a day or so for it.
