Description Christopher Beland 2015-04-24 00:43:43 UTC 
I'm not sure where to find the draft of the Fedora 22 Installation Guide, but I went through the Fedora 21 version steps in order to install the beta today.  One suggestion for the new version of this page:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/Installation_Guide/chap-booting-the-installation.html

I recommend adding something like "On Mac hardware, hold down Option to enter the boot media selection menu."  Mac hardware with Intel chips is rather common now, so I hope a significant number of people would be aided by that addition.  I spent several hours trying to figure that out the first time I put Fedora on a Macbook.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, Christopher. Added the note you suggested in https://da.gd/PZISf and it will be published in the F23 Installation Guide.
