@jwcph There are adapters from USB to lan available. I Think thats an option

@jwcph

Why do you try to connect to a VPN for installation? Just use a lan cable to your router - usually that's it. You can set up your VPN after everything is installed.

Apart from that I did not install on a macbook yet I never had problems with any of the ususal distributions.

@NyakoKitty Also, sometimes the ALT Text helps to understand the picture. There might be macro images or unusual perspectives where one does not know what it is in the first sight
