I don't know yet if the yosemite dvd will create a recovery partition. Hence the terminal method instead.Īlso, the mavericks dvd did not make a recovery partition. It did actually make a bootable dvd, but when one attempted to use it to actually do an installation, it did not work. However I will say that when mavericks was publicly released experiments were made with that and attempts to make a bootable dvd with createinstallmedia did not work properly.
I'm still going to wait for public release of yosemite. I'm not curious enough to waste a DL DVD to test it yet. Not sure if that will work with yosemite. Mount the InstallESD image to 'install_app' without verifying or opening Finder I've included comments detailing what each command does. I had issues burning on the MacBook Pro 13, so I copied it to my Windows PC and used imgburn which works just fine. Then burn the *.iso file created on the desktop. Simply open up terminal (Hard Drive - Applications - Utilities - Terminal) and copy and paste each command. Will edit as I confirm with other previews/betas. So far this is confirmed with Developer Preview 1. So if you want to make issue over why I created a DVD guide vs USB, just don't waste your time. PLUS it's more economical to have a small CD booklet with each OS X version readily available for quick use.
This guide however is for those computer/network technicians who still need AND use optical media for our own systems or customer systems. I wanted to share a method I've borrowed (and tweaked) from other sites in regards to making a bootable Yosemite installation DVD that works.īefore going any further, I fully know and agree that DVD installation media is old and being phased out and replaced by bootable USB installer media.
