Interesting. I'll have to look further into how that would work. Also, why wouldn't they just tell Mac users to do that? In the meantime I think I may have stumbled on the solution to the script: In the midst of all the output it mentions "usage realpath [-q] path". I wasn't 100% sure exactly what that meant, but I put the full path to the iso and a full path to an img file and I *think* that worked. I've yet to test the result; and I have no idea of the '-q' option....
