I believe that if you install MAC OS Server, it will cache installs for other machines on your network. On 11 December 2015 at 16:49, Mike Arrigo wrote: > The problem with this approach is that each time an update is released, > you have to recreate the install in order to

Re: el capitan upgrade pod cast

Yes, OS X Server’s Caching service will cache not only MAS downloads, but also the downloads of ESD images used during the recovery process. The problem is that the cache doesn’t easily migrate between Macs, so the Mac that hosts the cache is itself going ultimately to need another copy direct

Re: el capitan upgrade pod cast

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 operating system right away. Original message: You could always download El

Mike. I am waiting on my disk maker to finish making the biotin lie sd card for my iMac man it takes a wile. I started the prodded at 2:30 and it is still coping installer files. Great podcast. Matthew Sent from my iPod > On Dec 10, 2015, at 2:11 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote:

It would be nice if that were the case, but, unless Apple has changed things, each operating system has its own recovery installer, that's why the upgrade has to be installed first. Original message: Hi Mike, I was under the impression that if re-installing the OS from the recovery

Re: el capitan upgrade pod cast

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 should be very stable. If only every Mac on a network could cache software from Apple, and replicate the cache content to other Macs. Just like

Nice work, Mike. As you discovered, the Erase function of Disk Utility now allows you to choose the partition scheme. The Partition function allows you to partition disks. I love the idea of using the Recovery HD from a USB drive, and I’m glad to see that the Recovery Disk Assistant still

Hey everyone, for anyone who is interested, I didd a pod cast on how to upgrade to El Capitan and hopefully avoid the issues that some users have had, so far it's working well for me, here is the link.

Re: el capitan upgrade pod cast

Hi Mike, I was under the impression that if re-installing the OS from the recovery partition, the latest Version of the OS would be installed. So, even if, as I’mn my case, you were running Yosemite and you reinstalled from the yosemite recovery partition, it would bring down and install El

Re: el capitan upgrade pod cast

Installing from the recovery partition (CMD+R upon rebooting) should install the same version of OS X that’s currently installed on the computer. Installing from internet recovery (CMD+OPTION+R) should install the version of OS X that originally shipped with the computer. Grant > On Dec 10,
