Or, if all else fails, boot from the Live CD (or DVD) or net install & install that way. Unless it's specifically a Fedora issue that I'm unaware of[1], it should work (I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my wife's Macbook Pro using the same route without any problems at all). Cheers, Phil... [1] by this I mean with Fedora 18. I've only tested Spherical in a VM with CentOS as the host & am currently using RC3 on a HP server headless. -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.8 & 6.3, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy & Spherical, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise & Quantal GnuPG Key : http://www.horse-latitudes.co.uk/publickey.asc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
