1. Download Ubuntu ISO

2. Insert flash drive. Reformat.

Open DiskUtility. Erase flash drive. Reformat as MS-DOS(FAT) with GUID partition.

3. Convert the ISO to .img

Run hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/ubuntu.iso

(May create a file .img.dmg which is ok.)

4. Find flash drive and note disk.

diskutil list

5. Unmount the flash drive.

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN

6. Copy .img(.dmg) to the flash drive.
