I installed Fedora 20 on a macbook air like this:
burned the KDE live dvd,
plugged the dvd player into the mac usb port
held down the option button while I boot the macbook
when it comes up with the boot options choose the Fedora DVD (it
takes a few min before it shows up)
- boot off the DVD, then do the install to disk as normal
Sorry if my email wasn't clear enough: there is no disk to install Fedora to. The SSD drive is simply invisible.

Hi!
I have been struggling installing Fedora on a friend's MBA as the local SSD doesn't seem to be recognized. I found a few posts online with various degrees of luck, unfortunately they never mentioned with MBA is used and that didn't work for me.
I'm not a Mac user, but knowing what you tried might give others some ideas what you could try.
Well unfortunately there is not much thing to try as the disk is simply invisible. So I have tried a lot of web searches for one ;-) and also other distro install with even less success (screen simply didn't even display text, so I couldn't get very far - maybe that was a problem with the intel HD graphics 6000 drivers?).
And so to directly answer your question:
- create USB key to boot from
- Boot from EFI disk
- Try to find the disk when ask to chose a disk to install: and here it
only sees the USB key.
Thank you for the follow up.. i feel so :-/
