[QUOTE="krs, post: 1829597, member: 67742"] I want to make a Mojave USB Installer and prefer to use one of the applications to do that rather than using the terminal commands. I previously made USB installers of some of the older macOS versions using DiskMaker X, but there was also Disk Creator and I now see Disk Drill for that task and there are probably others. When I made the earlier USB installers, I found DiskMaker X was a bit easier to use than Disk Creator, so I used that. But rght now I'm not even sure if DiskMaker X is compatibe or capable to make a Mojave USB Installer so I'm wondering what members here would recommend - preferably something they have experience with. The other related question is the size of USB Flash Drive required. For all USB installers up to and including High Sierra, I used a Kingston DT101 G@ 8GB drive of which I had a few hanging around. Most of the articles I read on line about creating a Mojave Installer recommend at least a 12GB (do these even exist?) or a minimum 16GB USB Flash drive. Only one so far stated an 8GB drive is fine. What is the consensus on that? One site suggests that the software is checking that at least 12GB of storage space is available before proceeding even though the Mojave installer only takes just over 6GB. And finally, does the Mojave Installer i have on my harddrive have to be in the Applications folder? Right now it's in a separate folder along with the other macOS installers I downloaded. [/QUOTE]
