Creating bootable Linux USB using Mac

CentOS, Ubuntu, Slackware, etc. Whatever Linux-based OS it is, you can create a bootable USB for it by using a Mac.

1. Prepare the .iso file

Download it, copy it, whatever it takes to prepare that Linux-based OS .iso file

2. Convert the .iso file into a .img.dmg

Installing Arch linux with EFI

1. Change keyboard layout:

   • loadkeys no

2. Verify boot mode:

   • ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars (If the directory exist your computer supports EFI)

3. Ping some site on the Internet to verify connection:

• ping archlinux.org

Install Arch Linux

This is my personal setup almost every time I install Arch Linux. This is meant for me as being something I can quickly reference.

Change localkeys to my keyboard layout

In my case I have a Danish keyboard layout.
