CentOS - Jan 2020 - Centos 8 on Macbook

Folks

I am trying to install Centos 8.1 on a MacBook Pro.  I have a 
bootable USB stick with centos-8.1-boot (which I think is the 
equivalent of a netinstall), and it boots.  However, when I select 
the storage option, and choose to make more space on the SSD, go 
through the confirming dialogs, the installer complains that it was 
unable to save the information to the disk.  A similar attempt using 
Centos-7 netinstall successfully rewrites the SSD.  This failure also 
occurs when I boot the Centos-8.1-dvd.

Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks

David

There are many generations of different designs of MacBook Pro hardware.
Could you share the model and type and year?

I would try this using VMWare Fusion.
