Mac? Thanks a lot.

To the best of my knowledge, you can't boot an Intel iMac from USB.

Hello,

>  Yes, you can. Just use the script livecd-iso-to-disk.sh using the option
--efi|--mactel. with this option is possible. Take a look inside script (and
explain to me ;)

Those options have been there for a while but I've not been able to get them to work. 
The Interwebs says that Intel Macs can be booted from USB but I have yet to see it done.

I have a lab with 42 computers that I manage and 9 of them are Intel iMacs and they are
triple boot - OS X, Windows XP, and Fedora.  To install Fedora on 33 computers in the lab
I used LiveUSB.  For the iMacs, I used LiveDVD (of my own making since Fedora doesn't
have one).

Everytime I've seen someone ask about this the answer was... you can't do it...
but of course, I would love to be wrong this time and see it change.  Perhaps it already
has changed but I missed it.

TYL,
