The ISO images I was using were ISO install images for debian and lubuntu for powerpc. I've been chasing my tail around today also trying to create bootable USB drives from linux ISO images. this being said, it's worked for others somehow. Type "hdiutil convert source.iso -format UDRW -o destination.img" without quotes, and then press "Return." Replace "source" and "destination" with their actual values. Hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /convert/newfile/output.img /convert/source.iso there is a way, and i want to hear the formula from someone who knows what he/she's doing.Ī couple examples of this formula from other websites are as follows.
the last thing any forum needs is a bunch of "i don't know"'s. I don't mean to sound rude, but if you don't have an answer please just keep your comments to yourself. for reasons of simplicity, we are going to call it X.iso the name is irrelevant it's the formula that gets typed into terminal that i need. it doesn't matter what the file is called. img theres many people out there who claim to have success with this through terminal. Thanks for the super quick reply, but i don't think this is true.
