[QUOTE="partitoman, post: 786650, member: 81438"] [b]Solved![/b] Thanks for all your help, everyone, especially dtravis7 -- I'm embarrassed to report that it was all a big to-do over nothing. It was the keyboard after all, and, in the end, the only thing I had done (wrong) was to designate the startup disk as the Ubuntu CD, which was why it was the only thing that was bootable. After logging back into Mac OS by holding down the 'Option' key, I re-designated the Mac HD as the boot disk. And voila. So for future reference, the new thin metal keyboard [B]does not[/B] function on a Mac Mini before OS load-up. I can't believe that's what the problem was all along! [/QUOTE]
