Hi,
Has anybody successfully used Brian Smart's talking windows pre installation
environment?
If so, how'd you do it, seeing as with a pc you'd have to fiddle around with

Many thanks,

I can vouch for mac gourmet here. Works great, is accessible, and has an iOs
sidekick too, if you're into that. Also, sous chef is nice and accessible and
likewise has an i OS counterpart to go with the Mac component.

It's very easy to do a clean install of mountain lion using the recovery pane
