[OSGeoLive] problem with bootable usb stick creation via dd

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

The 12.0beta3 thumb drive (from dd iso) also worked fine on a 2017 iMac 
(press "option" on the bluetooth keyboard at boot time to access the 
UEFI boot menu). Text and icons were tiny on the retina display. I did 
not want to mess with configuring the bluetooth peripherals in Ubuntu so 
I used a USB mouse/keyboard combo for testing. Everything I tested worked.
