Welcome to Ask Ubuntu, lsemac!

You don't need to format the USB before recording the USB, just make an USB image and burn the IMG using Disk Utility. The drive will be formatted automatically.

If you want to install Ubuntu in a USB drive:

  1. Download Ubuntu: 32 bits PC / 64 bits PC / Intel Mac
  2. Follow the instructions at the Ubuntu website.

As it seems too difficult, I'm going to make a Python script which can simplify the process :)
