Install Apple's Front Row Media Center App on Your Mac Mini

If you have a Mac Mini are envious of Apple’s new Front Row media center app then check out this post on how to install Front Row from Apple:

Thanks to an update from Apple, Front Row can now be easily installed on any Mac running 10.4.3 Tiger. While you previous had to rely on quirky hacks, Front Row can now be added to Tiger with full support, including keyboard shortcut and sound preferences.

Requirements 1. Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later 2. iLife ‘05 (for iPhoto support) 3. iTunes 6.0.1 or later

Quick Guide

1. Download Front Row 1.0.1.
2. Install the update using Pacifist 1.6.3.
3. Download Front Row Enabler 1.0.1 Then reboot.
4. Set Keyboard Shortcut and Sound Effects in System Preferences.
5. Launch Front Row (command-Esc)

If anyone has Front Row working on their Mac Mini, then leave some comments and let us know what you think of it. The only downfall I see to this approach is you will have to add an external (probably USB) remote.
