It was definitely bootable in 10.7, because that was the first version that was downloadable. It changed to be non-bootable sometime later, although I don’t remember which release that occurred in. >> Aha, ArsTechnica to the rescue. > > > Also, don’t quote me on it, but I believe that Diskmaker app mentioned in the > Ars article is still around and still works on 10.11 (I recall a colleague > mentioning recently that they used it). You don’t need third-party apps. The binary inside the install app’s bundle does a perfectly good job of creating a bootable disk and/or image.
