abarbarian Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Someone offered me a old iMac not sure what version, it is an old all in one which looks like a thickish flat screen. Can I put a linux on the hdd ? Can I use Slax or any Live CD distro from a usb stick with no fiddling ? Ta.

Capt.Crow Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Tried that once. As far as I remember you will need the first boot floppy. and then everything has to go in in raw-write. Hopefully I will be corrected as I have an 1986 Apple Mackintosh SE M5011. 1Mb ram...800K Drive ..20SC Hard-Drive.... The usb sockets are unusual as they look like mouse/keyboard sockets. An adapter can be got to facilitate the newer usb connectors. Keep us posted as these machines run on 2amps and are sooooo economical to run .

abarbarian Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think this mac is slightly newer than the one you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
