A Live Boot Image for the Mac that Talks

[Linux for blind general discussion]

	I've been using unix commands of one kind or other for 30
years + and dd is the goto utility when copying disks.  What else should
we use if not dd?

	I have just tried two different thumb drives with unix
distributions on them and both throw an error if you plug them in
to the mac.  Both drives also mount without incident on a debian
user system

	The different format someone mentioned is called ufs or
something similar
