I installed Fedora 20 on a macbook air like this: 1) burned the KDE live dvd, 2) plugged the dvd player into the mac usb port 3) held down the option button while I boot the macbook 4) when it comes up with the boot options choose the Fedora DVD (it takes a few min before it shows up) 5) boot off the DVD, then do the install to disk as normal On 07/29/2015 06:13 AM, Frederic Muller wrote: > On 07/29/2015 07:01 PM, Suvayu Ali wrote: >> On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 04:41:04PM +0700, Frederic Muller wrote: >>> Hi! >>> >>> I have been struggling installing Fedora on a friend's MBA as the local >>> SSD doesn't seem to be recognized.
