Hmmm. I've never been able to get Fedora installed from USB to the point it will let me boot off the Fedora partition. I'll try again with Ubuntu and see if I can get that working, then move from there to another distro.
Thanks for your input; I appreciate it.
- catch23 15y agoYou won't be able to install via usb because refit/efi won't enable usb booting. You can use the internal dvd drive for installation however -- or replace the drive with a hard drive containing the installation medium. Best way to do this is to partition your first drive into 3 partitions before installing OSX using disk utility pre-installation. Install OSX, bootcamp, windows, then linux. Then you're free to remove your dvd drive if you prefer using a hard drive in that bay, but you'll need the drive for OS installations.
