and btw with the ntfs file issue before i meant that when trying to copy the whole macos installer.app file/folder over to an ntfs (windows) system it complains about the filename of CodeResources and OSInstallerCompatibility being wrong or too long. i'm at work right now and copied the files from our file server, so they are definitely fine. It for sure isn't a problem with the files. I could also try it on linux, but only when i get home. Tried it on Win7-64 with both a sierra and a lion file:Įtcher gets till the end of the process but then shows an error popup that always reappears when closed - had to force close the application.Īnd on macOS-Sierra with a sierra and a lion file:ĭoesn't even start the burning process and shows this popup straight away. anyways it would be great if i could create bootable macOS installer drives in the future from my linux distro without having to use macOS really it's that simple? thanks a lot! i knew that there was that one big file that holds the osx image, but i didnt think etcher would be able to handle it if i just pulled it out of the app folder. Though i don't know much about this and am just speculating from what i heard/read. porting it to windows might not work at all, since ntfs doesn't seem to be able to handle the macOS installer files. osx tools like Install Disk Creator and DiskMaker X 6 are able to create install mediums from the OSX Installer app files, but i think they modify them a bit in the background, and i'm not sure if those modifications would be easy to port to other OSs like linux. it's possible to burn them to dvds/usb drives/etc but from what i know in recent versions apple made it more difficult to burn them, as in requiring the app/image to be modified to be bootable. Under OSX/macOS they are displayed as "Install OS X %cat_or_mountain_name%.app" and treated like normal executables. Yes, exactly those - like the windows os installer just the mac one.
