Burn Dmg Linux Install It Using

If the DMG was intended to be bootable then the resulting USB will be bootable.

We want to copy a DMG image to a USB drive and keep it as verbatim as computationally possible.

In order to do this, were first going to convert the image to a format thats a little more universal: ISO.

If not, install it using your distributions native package management system.

I used lsblk to figure out how the system was identifying my drive.

Its usually pretty easy to figure out which disk is which based on their size.

For example devsdb.

Be sure to use the drive directly and not a partition within the drive.

Im using a Kingston DataTraveler DTSE9 and it took about 24 minutes 30 seconds to write 4.9GB.

If my info is off, or the question is inappropriate, I apologize for the ignorance.

I was gifted a Mac desktop (whatever they are called) and the OS needs to be completely re-installed.

I have downloaded that DMG from the mac store, and they are saying I can only burn it to a useable usb on a mac itself.

My actual Linux question is this: Is that a load of poo I have used the dmg2iso command before, but my question is about formatting.

Can a Lenovo Thinkpad running Mint 19.1 create a bootable macOS ISO, formatted correctly I appreciate any answers.

I cant tell you the answer to your question, but I can tell you that there is no harm in trying.

Try downloading the etcher AppImage and use that to create a boot media.

Usually, except for the dumb image writers, the image writer will tell you if the image requires extra processing before it will be able to create a bootable iso.

This is only because editing music is much easier when Im sharing the same programs as my bandmates.

If you run inxi -Fxzd and lsusb from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

Step1 convert the MacOS dmg to an iso file and then use one of the options to make a bootable USB stick from the iso file like unetbootin, dd, etcher, Linux Mint Image writer, multisystem, etc.

Probably would be good to install the package for reading MacOS file system hfsprogs too.

Once you have dmg2img installed, begin converting the DMG file.

After a few minutes, you should have a second file called image.img.

This file can be used like an ISO.

Write the ISO image to the USB drive like this: Replace X with the appropriate letter.
