Actually it is extraordinarily non trivial: I have an iMac 27. OpenSuse - does not see the USB at all Arch - EFI boot and boots sweetly Ubuntu - does not see the USB - many methods to make USB including http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx XUbuntu - does see the USB (thats bizare, many checks - it’s true!) but after boot ‘cannot find a live filesystem') Every USB stick works elsewhere even on EFI bios machines :-( James _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
