USB OSX Mavericks Question
Ok so i have created a USB bootable drive of Mavericks by transferring the content using terminal, reformatting the USB first to GUI and Mac extended journal with 1 partition.
Now I have been reading that that USB is tethered to my Apple ID and that I would need to have the Snow Leopard CD that this Late 2009 MacBook came with? I want to do a fresh install on this laptop so that I can sell it on. I figured doing a clean install using a bootable thumb drive would do the trick, I don't even want to start the process of flashing this hard drive until I know for certain that It will work without me having to load up the OS (go through the processes of setup), I just want to install and let the new user experience setting their new computer up.
If the new user can't use the computer, updates and whatnot, Because this was truly feathered to my Apple ID, then what are my options?
I know that Apple sold Lion USB drives, I'm assuming what I just made (installed OS X Mavericks, quit the install, and used terminal to transfer it to the correctly formatted USB stick and waited for the Done command in terminal before ejecting) is the exact same thing. I didnt do Yosemite because I want the new user to decide on having that os or not. And the guide at the time wanted me to do the hidden files method... so NOPE i did terminal so I could have the Partition thingy.
MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
