Q: Few Things to note
First of all thank you for this article. It is simple and straight forward - even for a Windows fan like me. But there are 2 things important to note:
1. I had to download Yosemite from my AppStore Previous Purchases. I did not know that and had to search around the net to figure this out.
2. There is a typo in the command example. At least for the computer I worked with. This command did not work:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /volume/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app
I had to add an "s" to /volumes/
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app
Of course I also had to change "MyVolume" to the name of my USB stick as displayed on the desktop or in the finder side bar.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
