I have an ISO of Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and I want create a bootable USB stick with it, I have a USB with 16 GB.
I already did it on Mac OS X, and it was easy, but today I need do it on Ubuntu 13.10 machine, and I have no idea of how do it,
Any suggestion is welcome.

In the above link there is a guide that I'm about to try with an older OSX.
How to make a bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive on LINUX.
It describes step by step how you can make a Mavericks USB installer on Linux without any running OS X and that requires:
- empty USB stick of minimum size 8GB
- copy of Mavericks
- working Linux (virtualized is also OK) with following installed packages: hfsplus, hfsprogs, gparted, p7zip
- at least 15GB free space on your system
- and time :)

I can attest that this is a working method. I personally used it to setup my hackintosh boot on my machine. – hanetzer – 2014-07-05T20:13:12.177

– ademar111190 – 2013-11-25T17:14:57.730I know, my point was that on [su] as on all stack exchange sites, we expect the OP to show research, to first search how to do it and then ask here. You seem to have not tried at all, just posted a question directly which is why I asked what you've tried. There are loads of howtos on how to make a bootable USB using Linux, including making it boot OSX. – terdon – 2013-11-25T18:43:46.847
I have a 64bit osx lion pendrive here, but I've forgot how I made this. I am really sorry! But don't give up! It is possible, and wasn't complex! – peterh - Reinstate Monica – 2013-11-25T21:22:46.570

@terdon I`m a menber of superuser for 1 year and 7 months, and it is just my second question, so I did this question because I not found a solution alone, and I tried a lot. – ademar111190 – 2013-11-26T05:13:03.333
