How to create bootable USB flash drive for Mac OS in Ubuntu

Hello Pamela,

In order to o create bootable usb flash drive for mac os x lion in ubuntu 12.04, note that you will not need to format the USB drive that you want to use before recording the setup to it. You will just need to make an USB image and after that you will burn the IMG using Disk Utility. Once you do it like that, the drive will be formatted automatically.

In case you want to install Ubuntu in a USB drive, you will need to:

1. Download Ubuntu on this link: https://www.ubuntu.com/download
2. And then you will follow the instructions here: the Ubuntu website.

It looks a bit difficult, and therefore it might need you to make a Python script that will help make the process simple.

Regards,

Carl
