Solaris82 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Hi I used the "macOS Mojave ISO creator" script created by thelamehacker published on github.com I attach link, it created me mojave iso, burned, works perfectly, I would like to create bootable dvd for Catalina, does anyone know if the script exists also for Catalina ? https://github.com/thelamehacker/macOS-toolkit/blob/master/toolkit/macOS_Mojave_ISOMaker.sh XLR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hervé 2,039 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 All you need to do is look into the script and modify it for Catalina. You'll see how easy it is immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solaris82 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I tried to change the name from mojave insert catalina but when it goes to create the file it comes out error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solaris82 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 could you send me the correct script for catalina? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spakk 1,838 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 change everything is written "Mojave" to rename "Catalina", it should work. presumably it will cause problems with "HFS + Journaled" and will not work properly after installation. So I would change it to APFs from begin. macOS-toolkit-Catalina-master.zip check it out if it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hervé 2,039 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 HFS+ should not be a problem for an installer. It's the target disk/partition that gets converted to APFS at installation. @Solaris82 Read the script and make sure you fully understand all of the steps. Do consider the allocated disk space given that a more traditional Catalina USB installer requires a 16GB key... spakk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spakk 1,838 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Of course, the problems only arise after the installation such as installing programs etc. or updating would be problematic with "HFS + Journaled". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solaris82 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I'm redoing the creation procedure, as it ends up posting the result via pastebin https://pastebin.com/HrCkqyYN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spakk 1,838 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 But it could also be, that I did not enter the exact name of the Catalina app correctly into the script. please check the exact name of the catalina app with the entries in the script. I am currently working on Windows OS and cannot check it on macOS Terminal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hervé 2,039 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Guys, seriously! A little brain effort... It's obviously a problem of target image size as I stated above. Shouldn't take a genius to realize that. It's even more surprising that the OP hasn't thought of posting a copy/paste of the error message. spakk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
