Ignore most of the above: There is a CD image that will work here: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-mac-10.9.0-amd64-netinst.iso Note: none of the images team has your hardware. Somebody somewhere may have similarly old Mac hardware and had reported successful installs a while ago. There were discussions either here / debian-cd as to whether it was appropriate to continue making this Mac media. All the very best, as ever, Andy C
