Hi Sam, I don't think you'll need the fn key on your mac mini, when you install snow leopard, just start your mac, and hold the letter c key down until you hear the dvd drive spin up, and hold the c key down until you hear it slow down, let up on the c key, then press command f5 and wait, maybe as long as a minute, because it is loading the operating system from the dvd, and eventually, voice over fred, should come up to guide you through the installation. I hope you don't experience the busy busy problems I'm experiencing, and if this isn't what you needed, let us know, and somebody can be of more assistance.

As previously noted this is a standard Mac keyboard on a Mac mini. My bottom left key is control and my bottom right key is enter on the num pad so those are the ones. Also keyboard help doesn't identify the fn key. The only reason I asked if it might be the f13 key is because that one is slightly larger.

The fuction key is either the bottom left or bottom right on your keyboard, depending on your mac.

Hey, folks,

I'm just about to upgrade to sl here on my Mac mini and I just want to make sure I know where the fn key is on my keyboard before I begin in case I need to use it. It's a standard Mac keyboard but not the one with the really flat keys; on this one the keys have nice finger indentations on top. Is it by any chance the f13 key?
