How to Burn Your Own OS X Install DVD or USB Drive

How to Burn Your Own OS X Lion Install DVD or USB Drive

Note for Mountain lion you get the message:
"not enough free space"

You have to optimise it first:
hdiutil makehybrid -hfs -o ~/Desktop/InstallESD_ready2burn.dmg /Applications/Install\Mac\OS\X\Lion.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg

For Mavericks

hdiutil makehybrid -hfs -o ~/Desktop/InstallESD_ready2burn.dmg "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg"
