After being unable to install MacOS Lion back on my old 2010 model I decided to play with Ubuntu on this machine at first. Then I had the brilliant idea of installing HA onto a USB stick. Running it on my Mini this way. Felt some problems coming up. I wanted it ON my MacMini installed with 525Gb SSD.
I started the Mac’s own Internet Recovery and decided to erase the complete drive and created 1 partition. Booted from the Ubuntu LiveCD I created and downloaded the haos_generic-x86-64 image file. I unpacked the file with unxz and wrote the image onto the internal SSD drive of the Mini. Creating a super fast HAOS system.
