gt5000 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hey everyone. This is the first time I have put OSX on a pc (I have a powerbook too,) and I am having some trouble with Ubuntu. When im in terminal and change the directiory to my usb hdd, and the tiger-x86-flat.img image is there. When i run "dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda" it says that I don't have permission to /dev/hda. I also tried hda1 and hda2. Any thoughts?

DrJägermeister Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Try: #sudo dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda I also tried hda1 and hda2. These are partitions, not a disk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4538-ubuntu-live-cd-problems/#findComment-28962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt5000 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 When I put that into terminal, it just sat there, and didn't do anything. Any other suggestions?

That's normal: dd don't give an output until it's finished. When it's finished it comes an messages how long it has taken. This can be from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
