If that doesn't work, you may just need to follow special instructions for manually creating your live-USB (Ubuntu's live-USB for OS X instructions are a good example) This doesn't mean you can't create a portable installation for running on Macs the tool Mac Linux USB Loader supposedly can, but we haven't tested this software before.

As a result, even though UNetbootin runs on Mac OS X, it can't create a live-USB image bootable on OS X.

Mac computers have a picky boot-loader and will not accept the file structure typically used on live-USBs. Not only can this create your live-USB install from a pre-downloaded ISO, or download the ISO itself, but it makes configuring other settings for your live-USB simple, and can be used entirely from within Windows. You can always just go to your preferred distro's website and download an ISO image, but another option definitely worth considering is the UNetbootin tool. If you don't have one in mind, two well-known Linux distros that historically focused on portability are KNOPPIX and Puppy, but most major distros including Fedora and Ubuntu now offer live-USB versions.Īnother distro you might find interesting is Zorin OS, which tries to make Linux as familiar to Windows users as possible and consequently includes a version of Wine right out of the box. The next ingredient is the ISO image of whatever distro you want to run Wine on.
