xpertvision Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have a bootable Lion ISO image. Is there a way I can patch it using your files? yes restore the ISO image to a partition with 8GB then edit the files in that 8GB partition you created, now you can use that partition like a DVD installer or you can burn that partition to DVD after the edit, very simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrintegra Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 xpertvision thanks for posting the modified files but I'm having a problem. After replacing the two files, the installation still prompts me that I need a GUID partition scheme to proceed. What should I do to correct the problem? Thank you in advance for you help.

fbifido Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is there a way to add the Recovery Disk Assistant.app from Recovery Disk Assistant.dmg to the installing usb or dvd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartie77 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 i can try , i found a few lines about that i dont know if that will work but i can try running Lion with only 1 or 1.5 GB would be a pain leaving it in its default 64bit mode with all features on but the beast can be tamed a lot : If for all you should only run it in 32bit mode this makes the biggest change in memory usage, then the next biggest turn off spotlight to a large degree, mainly the full text indexing of pdf,mail and websites; exclude all folders that are not your home folder and run most apps in 32bit mode only, not only the apps in /Applications but also the system apps in /System/Library/CoreServices - right click them "get info" and checkmark "run in 32bit mode" wherever it is available. Try slimming down the kexts - if you have a ATI for example throw out all IntelGMA,Nvidia etc kexts. If you have no thunderbolt and Firewire - out with them . No ATTO and Promise cards = rid off them.. Turn off the auto-reopening of all open windows and apps ( Lion constantly writes apps changing states, open documents and version changes to your hidden Home Library ). There is more to tweak, time will tell.. Lion has a loads of background services running that were not in SL. And Apple seems to collect a lot of user and performance metric data .. Have a look in Systems LaunchAgents/Launchdaemons plists, there is way too much, but as of yet I cannot say what is safe to delete there. Is there a way to add the Recovery Disk Assistant.app from Recovery Disk Assistant.dmg to the installing usb or dvd? put it in the "utilities" folder of the USB OSX installer system ? .. But this tool is only for creating a usb drive .. from which you can boot a mac. I dont see the value in having this tool in a already booted Installer ? I mean : the USB instaler IS in fact the best recovery solution available, so we are even in a better position then true Mac Customers. Most of them dont have a Lion USB stick to reinstall unlike us here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
