| Q: Does this Linux ISO support booting off a USB pendrive on a Mac EFI? | |
| (I don't want no BIOS jail, that shit drove me insane about 8 hours ago and I'm out of coffee now) | |
| A: Simple! Yes if it starts with ER. No if it doesn't start with ER. | |
| Examples: | |
| % (dd bs=8 count=1 2>/dev/null|xxd) < Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso | |
| 0000000: 4552 0800 0000 9090 ER...... | |
| ===> That's a yes. | |
| % (dd bs=8 count=1 2>/dev/null|xxd) < openSUSE-12.2-NET-x86_64.iso | |
| 0000000: 33ed fa8e d5bc 007c 3......| | |
| ===> That's a no. | |
