Create bootable disk for Mac

(Continue the locked thread)
I got it from Google ,click it for more : https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/508144-Download-ISO-and-create-boot-DVD
Obviously SuSE 13.2 is useless for making a bootable DVD,because my Mac couldn’t boot from it ,(I tested it on Mac,not Windows computer)

Is there anyone here who can help me ?

Haven’t tested but on the old thread someone mentioned a wiki link on how to burn the ISO image.

You shouldn’t use 13.2 anymore, it’s way to old and out of support and maintenance. Download Leap 15.0, it’s the most recent version.

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
What model Mac are we talking about here?

Get the latest release here;

Are you dual booting? If so, would suggest the option key when booting then can install openSUSE in UEFI mode and boot into osX selecting the HDD via the option key.

You should also be able to boot the installer via USB (this is what I use on my old MacBook3,1) rather than a dvd.

Probably if you at least explain what you are trying to do, what does not work and what exactly you need help with.

I tested, i wouldn’t be here if i were successful.

Thank you guy,i just saw your comment today.

I am going to creat a bootable disk for old mac to install a new OS.

I have an 11 year old iMac with Snow Leopard and Leap 15.0 on it I installed from a DVD I burned using K3B in openSUSE 42.3.

So you explained what you are trying to do. And what does not work? Or alternatively what you need help with? Your question is how to burn ISO image to disk?

At least MacBook I have at home fails to boot from multi boot DVD (it presents “menu” to chose loader on DVD but keyboard does not work, so no way to make choice). openSUSE images are multiboot (legacy and EFI). The only way is to use USB stick.

But this is pure speculation because you did not give us any information.

Hi
The DVD in my MacBook3,1 (late 2007 model) works, just don’t have any
burnable CD/DVD media around these days to test… been using USB
devices on this system from when I got given it a few years back
(needed a new battery and keyboard cable)… just used dd from Linux
for the osX (10.7.5) image.

You can’t get more value from an old thread , it worked on my macOS Mojave .

Making a bootable disk on Mac ?if you have got the .iSO file,maybe everything will get easier.
