Delete failed installation of Slurm. I leave this optional step in case you tried to install Slurm Slurm, Munge, and Mariadb should be adequately wiped. Now, we can start a fresh installation that actually works. You can install MariaDB to store the accounting that Slurm provides. If you want to store.
Hi,
Some of us would like to completely wipe out MAC OS X from a MAC computer and do clean install of Linux. I installed LinuxMint Petra 64-bit Cinnamon on MAC Mini (mid 2010) and I'm pretty sure the steps below will work on any MAC computer.
1. Boot from installation DVD (or from Recovery partition on the newer MACs) by pressing option key and powering on 2. Go to Disk Utility, select the hard disk, go to partition tab, select say 1 partition from partition layout menu, you may want to change format to fat, AND (most importantly) click Options and select MBR (this would make the HD bootable for Linux/Windows OS). Apply and shutdown 3. Boot from LinuxMint DVD by pressing option key and power on. Install LinuxMint as usual. Everything seems to be working fine (including wireless on MAC Mini)
I also successfully installed Centos 6.5 following the steps above. I have no doubt clean Windows 7 or 8 install would also work (you may need the drivers from Bootcamp though).
For those who would prefer to keep MAC OS X and multi-boot with Windows and LinuxMint instead, you can look at my post below. viewtopic.php?f=46&t=153432
