Q: 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)

Yes. InEl Capitan I have successfully created using this Terminal command

 

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
