*strong text*To put you into perspective: I'm no newby AND I'm close to nuclear meltdown.
I have tried to create a bootable USB stick using a 4GB stick and using the method with dd and the IMG file. The ISO was the AMD64. My mac is an older iMac white core duo (thus a proper 64 bit system).
I can create a DVD but it's later not bootable (I love Mac, really) and the same goes for an USB stick: DD works lovely, no error message but when trying to mount the darn thing it gives me a "not bootable" error and it will of course not boot from the thing.
It's not the medium as I have tried several stick and at least a dozen DVD and a few CD's too.
So, besides throwing the thing away and buying a proper PC is there any cheaper option?
Thanks.
BTW: I have Ubuntu working on an ACER ONE notebook.
