Installation Proccess

Flash your iso to a USB Stick, If you want a easy way to do this. Use Balena Etcher. For a more command line way of doing this, use dd.

I do not recommend installing this just yet. There are still a few bootloader issues to work out at this stage.

More In-Depth Installation Steps Coming Soon, in the meantime consult mbp-fedora Specifically Regarding Bootloader, and WiFi
