So I ran the 32-bit Beta on the mini...
Install went without issue or error - even without a connection to the internet which was the only problem, I'll have to dig into but first...
So the mini is solely a LL3.2 machine.
Running the beta installer I was prompted to run along side 3.2
I chose something else; so I could partition the remaining free I had..
I choose all the defaults.. No to extras, no to updates..
As mentioned straight forward and easy...
Haven't gotten a chance to try anything more within due to NIC's issue described below..
Upon attempting to connect to WiFi would not finalize, entered SSID password network icon would begin to spin then system would hang and had to force a reboot. Tried hardwired which did not connect, link lights gave status... Running same kernel (4.4) in LL3.2, maybe something else?
WiFi was replicated in Live Environment...
I plan to double check the md5, recreate my USB and give another go...
