That wasn’t included in the instruction, because it is so obvious.

Of course, you need to format your USB stick so, that both Mac OS X and a PC can read it, in other words, use the lowest common denominator, also known as FAT32 (or: MS-DOS format). I did some more poking around with Google, and found a Dutch description of how one might do this with Mac OS X sec, so without any additional software. Since I don’t have such a device, it was a bit of a dud. Until now I only had found a Windows solution for this, which required a physical Windows machine. Now I didn’t want to create a Live CD, but rather a “Live USB stick”, which would be so much easier than connecting an external DVD drive to my netbook (a MSI wind). I heard a presentation about Intel’s new Linux distro for mobile Internet devices, called Moblin.
