An outline of getting the web cam working in an OS X VM using QEMU.<br />

# Get Started
You can contribute and test this module without touching your Mac's Hard Disk. You just need an USB 3.0 key to install your Linux on, on top of your Linux installation Media. Best of both worlds, try Linux until you're ready to commit your internal drive. Please check [linux.com article] (https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/718439-how-to-run-fedora-linux-on-the-macbook-air-without-touching-the-ssd)
You want to dump the FaceTime drivers while still under OS X (to do: instructions to use the dump script).
## Get Started on Fedora
As of 2015.12, Fedora 23 is current. It will not recognize the internal WiFi card (Broadcom) so you need either the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, or any USB Ethernet Adapter known to work on Fedora.
Install Fedora.
Once installed, update it: sudo dnf update
You should get everything working (including keyboard backlight, screen brightness, sound) but the FaceTime camera and the WiFi card. Adding the Wifi drivers is outside of this document, and is [well documented - see steps 4 & 5] (http://mattoncloud.org/2014/02/05/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-air/)
Now download the driver.
