[QUOTE="krs, post: 1813208, member: 67742"] Yeah, the Apple site says 4.8 GB but when you do the download you still only get the small portion, the 22.7 MB for me. I had already tried that. The full installer from the HS patch site is actually 5.78 GB and I confirmed that this actually works to create a botable USB Flash drive. Believe me, I have spent a few hours researching this on the net and trying the various options suggested - none of them worked for me using a late 2012 Mini running El Capitan. My "educated guess" is also that people trying this may get different results depending on the Mac and OS they are running. [/QUOTE]
