Hi Everyone,
Didn't know where to post this. If I'm in the wrong place, I apologize. Long time mac user first time linux user. I had and old dell laptop and I really dont like windows and decided to try linux cnc. I have the parts to build a cnc, just need the software now - so I tried linux cnc. unfortunately it didn't work. Got linux to load off a usb, but unfortunately the cnc software part got errors. Now that I did this I cant try it again because I erased the usb to try again and the image from my mac doesn't work - and I dont have a windows machine to burn the iso image to a usb. I love my mac but in a few instances it would be nice to have a windows machine too (just for downloading).
My question is this: Do you know any way that I can use a mac to transfer an bootable iso to a usb? Or is someone willing to send me a usb already done, I would of course make it worth your while.
Obviously, the first option would be preferred, but at this point I am open to suggestions - just please dont send me back to the windows world
Thanks for your reply

Hi
I have no knowledge of Mac, but it seems it has dd so you can just do this, except use the Linuxcnc debian.hybrid.iso instead of the stock debian one
okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1986
regards

Don't worry too much, Mac and Linux get on very well together. (I only have Mac and Linux myself).
Underneath the pretty GUI the Mac is a Unix machine, and very nearly all the commands that work in Linux work just the same in the Mac Terminal.
Try the instructions here. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/153942...sb-linux-for-mac-how
