I tried to install Mac OS X on a thumb drive which is 8 gb. I followed the instructions on this website: http://blog.bradbergeron.com/2006/1...on-a-flash-drive/comment-page-3/#comment-685/

When I tried to make it bootable in the terminal, it said No volume specified. What should I do?

Thanks

First of all, check the format of the thumb drive, as well as its partition scheme. In order for this to work, the drive MUST be Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format with a GPT (GUID Partition Table) partitioning scheme (assuming you'll be booting the installation on an Intel Mac, since PPC Macs don't support USB boot).
