EFI will not boot Is that the error it gives you? Can you try doing a 'dd if=Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdc' and see if that works? kevin

This el-cheap-o has the worst, "how dare you boot anything other than Windows" UEFI BIOS from h*** I have come across. Setting the first boot device to the stick failed. But, using the f key boot over ride worked. So the problem here is "livecd-iso-to-disk", again. Man, that thing has more bugs ...

I haven't tried `livecd-iso-to-disk` though. Hi Noah, Thank you for the feedback! Did you have to go into the Apple UEFI bios and tell it to boot off the flash drive first, or was everything automatic?

Hi All, Would you guys please fix this for me. I am coming across a not inconsiderable number of new computers that have "legacy" boot mode locked out. Plus it would be nice to be able to boot an Apple. # livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi --delete-home \ --home-size-mb 4095 --overlay-size-mb 4095 --unencrypted-home \ Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc No BOOT*.efi found in eltorito image. EFI will not boot Many thanks, -T
