Hi Morris,
 I believe you may be making a Linux boot drive that will run the Linux version of CHIRP.

You may find it more direct to download the Mac OSX version of CHIRP and just run it like any other Mac app. 
Here is where to download the Mac OSX version of CHIRP (and the others as well):

Using Intel-based Mac mini, OS 10.6.8. I have followed the directions as well as I could to make a USB drive, but can't see how to use it. Lots of files on the drive, but nothing jumps out at me as a startup file. I hope some of the experts on this list can tell me where I am going wrong.
