How to create a bootable Ubuntu Linux (10.04) USB installation for Macintosh
- by vdavidovski
I tried searching the Internet, but could not find a decent tutorial explaining how to create a bootable Ubuntu Linux (10.04) USB installation that could be run not only on a PC but also on Macs and MacBook Pros. In addition, I tried refit, but ended with "Missing operating system" error.
Here is basically the layout of my bootable under PC Ubuntu USB drive (using MBR):
Partition 1 (ext3, bootable) - Ubuntu Linux 32 bit, contains also grub2 bootloader.
Partition 2 (ext3) - Ubuntu Linux 64 bit.
Partition 3 (fat32) - contains data.
What would be the best way to enable this drive to boot under Mac OS X? And if refit has to be used, could I simply have one more partition on the USB drive containing it?
Thanks!
