By now you’ve probably heard that Apple will be selling a Lion thumb drive option later this fall…for an upcharge. And making your own bootable disk was a little to complex for the average Joe. Well, no more. CultOfMac.com shares and easy way to make a bootable Mac OS X Lion disk. It’s Lion DiskMaker. And as Cult of Mac puts it, it turns making your own installable Lion USB key drive into a one-click affair.
Here’s what else they have to say:
The program’s in French, but don’t let that stop you. It’s as easy as downloading the installer, unzipping it, dragging the Lion DiskMaker to your Applications file, plugging in a 4GB or larger USB key or SD card and running the app.
As long as your Lion installer is in the Applications folder — which is where it goes by default when you download it under Snow Leopard — Lion DiskMaker will then format your key appropriately and make the key bootable with Lion.
Sounds pretty simple, minus the French. Here’s to a English version coming soon.
