Q: Installing OS X (Yosemite) on external volume

Hi,

I'm refering to this article:

 

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202796

 

But isn't it possible to install OS X on an external volume using the recovery partition? For e.g. I already have Yosemite installed (and also it's recovery partition - got the Mac last december), isn't it possible to just boot up it's recovery partition and install on the usb drive from there?

 

 

Kind regards,

Michael
