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

5) boot off the DVD, then do the install to disk as normal

Fedora to. The SSD drive is simply invisible.
