Dear listers, After having crated a usb installation stick for mountain lion, off of which I can boot just fine, I booted the mac book pro from the usb drive, turned on voiceover, wiped the macintosh hd partition using disk utility, and started the mac os10 mountain lion installer. A few very strange things are happening.
1. My wifi is working. How can this be? The usb drive ought not to know anything about my wifi network, its ssid or its password. Why is my wifi working, without me having to enter the wifi password? 2. When actually installingh os10, then with lion, I had to wait for half an hour and the installation would be done. This time however, having not lion but mountain lion on the usb drive from which I am installing, I was asked to sign in to the app store, and there was no way of getting around it. After I gave the credentials, the installer started downloading all of mountain lion's files from the app store, instead of simply copying them over from my usb drive. All of mountain lion is already on my usb drive, so why download it again from the app store? It is now taking more than 2 hours to get mountain lion installed. Q: what can I do to make mountain lion install entirely from my usb drive, rather than it going into the app store to download 95% of itself again? Very curious.
