I used that link to try to install Debian on my Intel based Mac-mini
but failed miserably and gave up. Got a copy of snow-leopard and
reinstalled (to get rid of lots of stuff from the original owner) and am
now playing with Mac-Ports etc.
My Mac-mini has built-in wifi which just finds my D-Link router every
time I boot it up. Dunno about the G4 ones tho'
I did find that my Mac is unable to boot from an external usb
hard drive (having gone through the slight hassle of installing Debian
on said drive)
