Bootable installer question

Hi ..


Has anyone tried this using Terminal > Create a bootable installer for OS X


I'd use the one for Mavericks on an iMac running v10.9 Mavericks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app --nointeraction


and in Yosemite created using


sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
