Removed the hdd from the mini, connected to another machine and GPT
partitioned.
* Protective MBR 2 MiB not formatted.
* ESP, 1 GiB FAT 32.
* Swap, 4 GiB.
* 20 GiB for each operating system /root.
* Remaining space for /home.
No problem installing the 64 bit system. Boots with GRUB2/UEFI. No
need for the boot media I've seen mentioned. Still a useful system.
Thanks for the help, ... P.
