That’s true, but this of course requires you repeat that for every little
update. The advantage of the recovery method is that the stick you build

I am trying to help a blind friend who is using El Capiten. He is a relatively

This should already work, no matter your OS version. Be sure Quick Nav is off,
or you might run into problems.

Alex, you said something potentially helpful. Referring to my
perceived mispronunciation of the end of "regards," you wrote: "my

The problem with this approach is that each time an update is released,
you have to recreate the install in order to keep it up to date. Using
the recovery method, though it takes longer, always installs the newest
