On a Mac, a simple thing such as copying an ISO file to a USB nurgle, is not necessarily simple, due to the helpful automounter.
Get a Linux ISO image over here: https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours
Open a terminal, then do the following
See which disks are on the machine:
- $ diskutil list
Insert the USB nurgle, to see the disk node (Likely /dev/disk2 - NEVER disk1!!!):
- $ diskutil list
- $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
- $ sudo dd if=/path-to.iso of=/dev/diskN bs=1m
Once completed:
- $ diskutil eject /dev/diskN
Caution
Please note that writing to /dev/disk1 will very likely be extremely disappointing, so rather don't.
Eh?
What is a nurgle???
It is Aussie for a widget, a thingummabob, a whatchammacallit, a whassisname, or a hoosammawhatsit - a very versatile word to add to your technojargon vocabulary.
La voila!
