Hi All,

Help!

I got stung twice this week by not being able to boot my
Xfce Fedora 21 Live USB in an Apple machine.  I take
it there is more than putting it into a USB slot.  Can't
figure out if there is even a bios to configure boot order
on an Apple!

I really, really need to know how to do this.

Found this: 
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-boot-a-linux-live-usb-stick-on-your-mac/

But it requires a MAC to run and the sticks work run in
PC's afterwards.   AAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!!

You need to provide more detail. How did you create the usb stick? Our
iso's are all hybridiso so simply using dd to write them will make them
bootable on BIOS and UEFI. If you're using livecd-iso-to-disk you need
to include the --efi flag when making the USB.

You can select the device to boot on the Mac by holding down the option
key while booting.
