[QUOTE="sago48, post: 1274948, member: 209649"] Thanks for the link and pointing out the issue re the EFI on my mini. Yes, it looks as though even with a core 2 duo chip my mini will boot with a 32 bit kernel. As you say, it looks like I'll have to buy 10.7 with a compatible mac - that's no problem - and then image to an external drive and tweak it from there onto my mini. Not hard to do, though putting us through all of this is a bit tiresome. I expect there will be some clever hacks soon which will make it simpler. Whatever happened to backwards compatibility?
