==Description==
 
The Apple MacMini (Intel) is a very energy efficient hardware-platform and uses the new Intel EFI technology as bootprom, which is not compatible with the standard grub boot-loader. So no standard Linux distribution would start on the MacMini. You have to replace grub with the older lilo bootloader.

Reboot your MacMini and finish your installation with the initial configuration. The standard lilo bootloader starts your server as usual.

==Using CPUspeed==
  −
  −
Your MacMini supports multiple cpu frequences. Using multiple frequences can even reduce power consumption but without reducing your cpu power. The used frequence depends on the demanded processes. If you give the command
  −
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
  −
you can see the actual used cpu frequence.
  −
The command
  −
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
  −
ansers with 'centrino', which means that your MacMini would use the centrino driver.
