that article may prove useful, but probably not. after you read all that, on the Gizmodo page it says that if you want to make it bootable you should use a utility called Live USB helper they link to (which isn't there any more) and use a Mac mounting tool (which isn't there either!) to force the ISO to mount on the Mac so you can copy the files over. Run diskutil eject /dev/disk N, and remove your flash media when the command completes (this can take a few hours on slower drives)
Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk N (replace N with the disk number from the last command in the previous example, N would be 2)Įxecute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.iso of=/dev/disk N bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.iso with the path where the image file is located for example.
Run diskutil list and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g., /dev/disk2) Here are some instructions from Gizmodo that will put the ISO onto the flash drive with a Mac.
