Bootable USB From Image

1. Convert the .iso to .img (A Debian install for example)

    hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/output.img ~/path/to/input.iso
    mv ~/path/to/output.img.dmg ~/path/to/output.img
   

2. Copy the image to the target device (/dev/disk3 for example)

    diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3
    sudo dd if=/path/to/output.img of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m
   

3. Eject the disk

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.
