If you end up going the "live.dmg on a stick route" like I had to, the gizmodo guide includes a few key pieces of information I didn't see (but I'm sure are there somewhere) at the dellmini site.
If you don't want to buy an external DVD box that you'll hardly ever use, consider going the 2 USB stick method, since you already have a Macbook with which you can create the USB sticks. You'll need at least one 8GB+ stick. If you don't already have one, consider getting a 8 or 16 GB SDHC card and using it in a USB reader. After you're done installing, just slip it into the SDHC slot on your Mini 9 to use it as additional storage.
That's all I've got - hope it helps - and welcome to thecult club.
