Hello g4jht, have you gotten any response on this topic ? I am quite interested. My question is Debian related in that I am trying to build a bootable memory stick to drop a Debian system onto an old Macintosh laptop. I do not know what the command or command sequence is to transfer the system into a(ny arbitrary) memory device and make it a bootable system. An answer to you is an answer for me too. Thank you.
