![]() ![]() We came a long way, baby □ And I have to admit that to deal with burning a disk using the drutil command line tool is just, well… almost impossible when done from Applescript, unless you accept not to have any feedback while the burning process happens. Think about it: you can buy for the price of a few coffees a disk 16 times bigger than my first internal hard drive on my first Mac, almost 20 years ago. In the same time, USB thumb drives became ubuquitous, their price fell, and you can just get an 8 GB drive for a few bucks (about $7). So you need to use DVD-R Dual Layer (or DVD+R DL), which are waaaaaay more expensive. Today, burning Mountain Lion or Mavericks on a disk is not that easy, as the DVD-R are just too small to fit the full OS X install. ![]() ![]() It was okay at this time to use a DVD-R as Lion could fit in a single standard DVD-R . Two years ago, I thought Lion DiskMaker was useful to build a bootable USB key, but also to burn a bootable install disk. However, I’d like also to use this blog post to talk about one feature you won’t see in Lion DiskMaker 3: DVD-R support. But some of them should be really cool □ I prefer to keep some of the new features secret for this time. There will be also many substantial changes in Lion DiskMaker. I plan to make a new beta available within the week-end, then work towards the final version for the official Mavericks release, which should happen before the end of October. It means that it will take a bit of time before I can propose a nice version of Lion DiskMaker for 10.9. And I have to squash many nasty bugs due to changes performed in the way Mavericks deals with packages and its boot OS. Of course, this has some consequences over Lion DiskMaker as it needs many modifications to work properly with this final version. Apple finally announced to all Mac developers that OS X 10.9 Mavericks is now available for developers as a Golden Master (GM). ![]()
