Installed Snow on a partition of the main HD in my 2011 Mini in Target Disk Mode from a 2007 MacBook via flash drive. Lion machines don't support this but it's widely known that it works. It was simple and quick. Everything works but there are a couple of quirks.
The Thunderbolt display needs to be disconnected from the Mini until the OS has loaded otherwise it doesn't turn on or it glitch flickers. Also Snow seems to be stuck in display mirroring mode even though I don't have another display. I'm getting two display preference windows lol. There are occasional anomalies like broken cursors etc but nothing major. There are obviously Snow/TB display incompatibilities. Lastly performance is a bit suspect. One app used 200%. I think someone on the Apple forums found a kind of clock fix that many people have been using with success and it actually made Snow faster than Lion. I can't find the thread again.
Does anyone here know about these issues on Snow/2011 Mini?
Forced mirroring issue.
CPU issue / machine
