How to make a Linux USB from Mac OS X

This video is aimed at those using OSX wanting to create a bootable Linux Live USB without the use of any third party software.

If you see the error dd: Invalid number '1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M.

If you see the error dd:/devdiskN: Resource busy, make sure the disk is not in use. Start the Disk Utility.app and unmount (don't eject) the drive.

This should work for any Mac or normal PC or laptop in this earth :D

Thanks for watching
