this will show you how to turn a downloaded iso file into a bootable usb drive using mac osx
there are two methods.
the first is the better way:
- go to unetbootin.sourceforge.net
- download it and follow the instructions
you will now be done.
the following method is the old way to do it (before unetbootin was available for macs)
- open terminal
- plug in your usb drive
- in ternimal type:
- mount
you will get an output that has the name of your usb drive volume in it, it will be something like /dev/disk2s1
- in terminal type:
- diskutil unmount /dev/disk2s1 [what you found from the mount command]
- in terminal type:
- dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/disk2s1 bs=1m
it will then copy the content of the iso file to the usb drive.
