Seems like we hardly got to know each other :o
Just released, 10.8 GM build.
Downloading as I type .
*Download the installer from the app store.
*Right-click installer -> "Show Package Contents"
*Contents -> Shared Support -> InstallESD.dmg (open it/mount it)
*Open the terminal and copy this command:
*Now open Diskutility and "restore" BaseSystem.dmg to your USB drive.
***PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES YOUR USB HAS A GUID PARTITION TABLE***
[Changing partition table to GUID]
[Restoring the DMG]
*Now open your newly restored USB drive
*System -> Installation
*Delete the link called "Packages" and then create a new folder with the same name
*Open the terminal again and copy this to it:
*Copy everything in this folder to the "Packages" folder you created on your USB.
**Note this stage might take a while**
Hurray you now have a working installer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A note:
This guide may seem different to others you have seen but it works better:
*The standard installer will copy the installation DMG to your hard drive and then re-run the installation using that. i.e you are needlessly running the install twice. My way doesn't do that.
*This installer allows you to clean install
