Getting started using OSX
#1
I didn't find any info about how to start using pine if you have OSX and can't run PhoenixCard so I decided to write this guide:

What you need:
  1. Ubuntu image (or other image I only tested Ubuntu)
  2. Terminal
How:
  1. Open terminal and run 
    sudo diskutil list
  2. Find your SDCard - easiest way is to find the disk in the right size - should be in the format /dev/disk2. 
  3. Format the card using the following command - make sure to change the disk number to what you found in step 2

    sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 MYDISKNAME MBRFormat /dev/disk2
  4. Unmount your disk using the following command - make sure to change the disk number to what you found in step 2

    sudo umount /dev/disk2Make sure that the next line confirm that the disk is not mounted
  5. Unmount all sub-prtitions (if you didn't skip step 3 the card should only have one) in the disk using the following command - make sure to change the disk number to what you found in step 2

    sudo diskutil umount /dev/disk2s1Make sure that the next line confirm that the disk is not mounted
  6. Go to the location where the Ubuntu image is
  7.  Run the following command to extract the image to the disk- make sure to change the disk number to what you found in step 2
    sudo dd bs=4m if=Ubuntu_image_file.img of=/dev/disk2
     
The last command will take ~30min to complete and will result in a success message of how many bytes were transferred to the card.Good luck!
