So either create a flash drive with the previous ISO, or mount the ISO. Or better yet, if you have any computer with a Linux OS, you may be able to just mount the ISO (just as a Mac would mount a DMG), and copy the files from there. You'll only need the flash drive created with this. So here you go:Äownload a version of, which is a simple Linux distro that only runs a media center. As I'm not an expert, what I did was copy/paste from another working flash drive that I created with a distro that worked just fine to be bootable form that Mac Mini. In my findings you just need an extra folder to be included on the flash drive, which is 'efi/boot/', and inside that folder you'll need a few files. I'll write a tutorial sometime in the next few weeks (I still want to find another working ISO, other than the one I've used), but it is actually quite simple. What I've discovered is that most Linux distributions don't have an EFI implementation on their ISOs that satisfies those old Macs. I've been searching and trying for a while. I have successfully created a bootable USB for a Mac Mini 2,1 (2007) just last week.
