Getting F11 for ESXi Hypervisor Install to work on a Mac

Today I found that I could not press my Volume down/F11 key on my MacBook Air and get the Hypervisor install EULA acceptance screen to 'hear me' - instead OSX was stealing the F11 function to show my desktop.

The way I got around it was to temporarily unassign F11 from "show desktop" in OSX.

To do this I went to;
System Prefs>Keyboard>Shortcuts tab

I then un-ticked "show desktop" which was assigned to F11, and this did the trick :)
