Hum... :/ Ok... Waiting for another suggestion I'm find some new information.
All the three distros I suggest are based in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS... Seems some macbook pro models Ubuntu 12.04 don't work. First check this list: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro If it's possible, you can try this tutorial: http://randomtutor.blogspot.com.br/2013/02/installing-ubuntu-1304-on-retina.html Seems more easy and direct than the last link information. 2013/5/31 Alexandre Torres Porres <[email protected]> > > it says "no bootable device - press any key" > > KXstudio & DreamStudio also burnt to CD/DVD and had the same issue. > Whatever I have to do will work for them all I guess.
