Specifically, this guide was written using the VirtualBox 4.0 (32-bit) version (Package: kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.38.8-32.fc15). It can be adapted to upcoming versions and different CPUs (64-bit).

Specifically, it was written for the MacBook 5,1 generation, but I believe this should work on more recent generations as well. As with Fedora 14, there were many things that worked out of the box. The differences between Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 are: 1) bluetooth required a set of commands to be ran before it worked and 2) the keyboard backlight works out of the box. I have created this guide to help others get Fedora 15 installed on their MacBook Aluminum quickly. I hope to gain a lot of feedback so it can benefit other users who wish to use Fedora on a MacBook. I would also like to add that I used the live CD to install, not the DVD.
Notable frustrations:
- The power management still seems to be lacking when compared to Mac OSX.
- Bluetooth required “secret commands” in order to work properly.
- The touchpad is so frustrating to use, I would just assume disable it entirely.
- I can’t record a video using Cheese application?
- Gnome 3 recommends suspend over shutdown, but I can’t successfully resume (black screen; hard boot required).
- MiniDisplay Port not working; Perhaps this is because I chose not to install the nvidia drivers?
