[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1549420, member: 54225"] I am done downloading OSX Maverick, am humbled by terminal (its uses are indicated in earlier posts in this thread), don't even know how to type a reversed / symbol, have in front of me the missing manual for OSX Mountain Lion and want to create a homemade installer flash drive with OSX Maverick on it, in addition to the flash drive I made for OSX Mountain Lion. 1 - Can I use the method described in the missing manual page 796 or is there anything changed to it ? It is described in 2 phases with no mention of Terminal: Format the Drive, using Disk Utility; and Build your installer, using Disk Utility again. 2 - The second question is: can I use the empty partition of the 16 Giga flash drive that I formatted upon moving to Mountain Lion with two partitions: one (6G) for the OSX Mountain Lion installer and one (10G) still empty and formatted Mac OSX (journaled) ? Or is there anything special that makes this empty 10G partition unfit for my purpose ? TIA and my profound apologies if the questions seem trivial. Replies will help immensely. :D [/QUOTE]
