Hello, Didier! Very impressive script! Unsurprisingly, on my main Desktop machine I get: EFI booting is not enabled, game over. That leaves me only with an Apple Airbook where I'm hesitent to overwrite anything Apple specific. It would be nice to know one could do that, though. So, I'm thinking of a way to test undestructively. Perhaps, if the script runs properly on OS X, writing to USB would be the test? Just thinking aloud ...
