However, I can not install my computer's drivers using the Mac OSX DVD 1 of course because it works on Windows only. So what can I do in order to install the drivers on Linux? Of course I can not access the internet from there, obviously.
Quite frankly, if it were me - I would dump Mint Gloria and instead install the latest version of Ubuntu (9.04). It simply works out of the box; network, graphics, wireless, etc. all there. As a matter of fact, I found the Ubuntu install easier than Windows XP.

Your choice of course and as everything else, mileage may vary.

Regards.
