sudo dd if=/path/to/converted.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m to copy that image over to the flash drive.diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN where N is the disk number you found in step 3.More terminal goodness: diskutil list to find which disk is your flash drive.Hit up your terminal and use the following command to convert that image hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso.Heck, if you have an external DVD drive, you can skip this all together. This is pretty standard stuff, if you’re reading this, it’s likely you already know it. Like I said, I’m using a Macbook Air, so there’s two steps to this process: creating a bootable flash drive with the Ubuntu image, and the actual installation. Scouring the web, there’s not that many resources indicating how, or if this is even possible. Recently I was trying to find a way to run Ubuntu off an SD card, so that I could use Linux on my Macbook Air (I’d have dual booted, but my Air has the 128GB SSD, which doesn’t leave much space after partitioning).
