install mojave on second harddisc, can't download installer because Catalina
Hello.
Since my mac (MacMini late 2014, 10.15.1) is utterly failing me, I need to find a way to downgrade to Mojave.
I tried more or less everything that comes to mind to boot into a usb-stick usb-harddrive, but since I upgraded to Catalina, the shutdown-process crashes the mac every time. And then, it just does not take keyboard-shortcuts during start-up.
So no start-up disc selection, no recovery mode, or target-disc mode, or whatever would have been helpful. (Setting this in system-preferences doesn't help either)
Flatly attempting to download the mojave-installer is being flatly denied (Software being "too old"—It's like «I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid you just can't do that»)
So, I'm kind of like locked-in.
What can I do, apart from grilling/nuking/drilling holes into the mac?
What happens if I
sudo rm*
in terminal?
anyone?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
