Write Fedora.iso to USB and boot it from a Macbook
- by MTilsted
I have an .iso image of the full Fedora 16 install (Downloaded from http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#formats as "Fedora 16 DVD")
and the question now is: How do I write it on a USB stick, so I can install it on my Mac book?
I tried using DD as the install guide said, and that gave me a USB stick which can boot from my PC. But it can't boot from the Mac (The Mac start menu don't show it as a boot option).
Edit:
I downloaded a live install image, and did this (SSD is my USB 4GB thing)
/sbin/mkdosfs -F 32 -n usbdisk /dev/dev/sdd1
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi /tmp/download/Fedora-16-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdd1
And this produced an image which can boot on my pc but not on my mac. This seems to indicate that the --efi is not working, because if it really was EFI it would not boot on a normal pc, would it?
I then tried this: (Difference being that I write the image directory to /dev/sdd instead of /dev/sdd1) but this still will not boot on the Mac (it newer shows up at the startup screen on the Mac).
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi /tmp/download/Fedora-
PS: My host Linux is Fedora 13.
