I'm pretty sure if you can get your hands on the App/DMG version of Lion, it's possible to create an ISO, or at least a bootable thumbdrive. That's what the Hackintosh folk do.
- hobs 11y agoI have an Apple made thumb drive of lion(its tiny!), they do exist, they are just rare.
- tim333 11y agokat.cr have torrents of all the old Mac OSs
- walterbell 11y agoIs there a list of known-good hashes for official Mac installers?
- notpeter 11y agoThere is now. https://github.com/notpeter/apple-installer-checksums https://github.com/notpeter/apple-installer-checksums
- walterbell 11y agoThank you!
- ksml 11y agoI'm not sure why this is being downvoted. My understanding is that it is perfectly legal to download OS X 10.8+ this way; the updates were offered by Apple for free as long as you run them on a legit mac (which I'm assuming you are). The downloads on kat.cr are the same exact DMG files you would get if you downloaded from the app store. If this is not the case, feel free to correct me.
- prewett 11y agoApple even gives you directions on how to do it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 Save it for however long you'd like. I actually used my Mountain Lion thumb drive to boot my Mac to fix the problem with my Yosemite thumb drive when it failed to install a bootable Yosemite.
