1356139	2013-10-16 06:59:00	Hi all, I have a linux .iso that I would like to burn onto a USB that I can boot with on my mid-2012 Macbook Air. Will it boot from the .iso or do Mac's only boot from .dmg's (if so, how would I convert it)? Also, could a windows PC boot from the .iso as well as the MbA? Thanks, Nerdtastic	Nerdtastic (16693)

Thanks, trying to find that one out for a while :)	Nerdtastic (16693)
