| + | ## Enter the Terminal: <code>/Applications/Utilities/Terminal</code>. |
| + | ## Type <code>diskutil list</code>. You should see all the disk drives you have inserted into your computer. |
| + | ## Insert the disk drive to which you want to write Sugar on a Stick. |
| + | ## Type <code>diskutil list</code> again. You should see that your USB drive has been added to the list. If not, wait a while and repeat. |
| + | ## Type <code>hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img <<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>></code> to convert the image into a bootable format. |
| + | ## Type <code>sudo diskutil unmountDisk <<i>device name</i>></code> to unmount the disk (it will not be ejected). |
| + | ## Type <code>sudo dd if=<<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img.dmg of=<<i>device name</i>> bs=1m</code>. <code>sudo</code> will ask for your password, and then <code>dd</code> will start writing the disk file. |
| + | ## When <code>dd</code> finishes writing the disk file, type <code>sudo diskutil eject <<i>device name</i>></code>. |
| + | # '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer, then reboot and press and hold the Option key while rebooting. You should see a list of all the EFI-recognizable USB drives that can be bootstrapped. If Sugar on a Stick is not one such drive, it cannot be bootstrapped: you need rEFInd (a fork of rEFIt).<br> |
