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.

Morris,

As others have stated, you may want to install CHIRP natively on your Mac. But if you have installed CHIRP LiveCD properly on a USB drive and want to give it a try, you would reboot your Mac and boot up using the OS on the USB drive (completely bypassing the Mac OS). On a non-Mac computer you may have to configure the BIOS to allow booting from a USB drive or at least be able to choose to boot up from the USB drive. You may have to do something similar on your Mac (I'm not a Mac person).
