I downloaded the latest version of DiskMaker X (v.4b4, compatible with Yosemite down to Mountain Lion) to make a Mavericks boot installer USB drive for future use.

It all worked as expected but the finished disc image that appears on my desktop when I insert the USB stick is named ‘Yosemite install Disk - 10.9.5’ rather than Mavericks. When clicking on it I see the following contents:

Can I assume the disc image name is an error and the contents will actually install Mavericks?

Will changing the disc image name to ‘Mavericks install Disk - 10.9.5’ create a problem when it comes to using the USB drive?

The program assumes the "latest" version of OS X is to be installed, but works the same for Mavericks as it does for Yosemite. You can rename it if you wish.
