[QUOTE="Boullan, post: 1578664, member: 317335"] Thread resurrection! So, I [I]finally[/I] got myself a Samsung SSD 840 Pro, and a bootable 8 Gb USB stick with Mavericks ready to rock’n’roll. Seeing how Snow Leopard seems to be going out of style, though, I’m considering maybe NOT buying the Snow Leopard installation CD after all (as I had originally planned -- see my earlier posts in this thread), and instead go straight to Mavericks. Question: Is this possible? Put in the SSD, and then immediately install Mavericks from the USB stick? Or does the bootable USB stick require that a functioning OS X is already installed on the SSD...? [/QUOTE]
