Can anyone tell me how I can create a live USB stick that will boot

The restriction here is that I mustn't alter the config of the Mac in
any way (because it's not my machine and I can't risk screwing it up).
Googling suggests that I need to mess with EFI, but I don't really
understand the details.

See section "Making Fedora USB Media with dd" here:

Note that this method will erase all data currently on the disk.
YMMV, in my case booting from EFI is broken an hangs just after loading
vmlinuz in GRUB.
