We can not assume that all uses of that part will work as expected without the whole.Īmongst the considerations: the disk identifier for the fixed hidden Apple_Boot 'Recovery HD' partition that arises from most first installations of 10.7. app that is recommended for installation. At least: before a reinstallation that experiments with a hacked Recovery OS, comprehensive Time Machine or bootable backups.įor clarity: what's written to the removable media is only a part - not the whole - of the. I applaud curiosity, experimentation and innovation but please, suggest caution alongside hacks that pre-empt Apple's provision. Apple states that Lion will be provided on a USB thumb drive in August. Now - so soon after day one - there may be good reasons for Apple not delivering a USB thumb drive. 6th June … 20th July … maybe not a great deal of time to test what was seeded at WWDC and the two builds that followed. To the best of my knowledge, none of those developers were offered removable media for Lion Recovery.
How many other reinstallation configurations have you tested, or seen verified repeatably, by other people who offer or adopt these hacks? How many other Recovery OS routines that involve novel uses of EFI, that involve other novelties, have you tested, or seen tested by other people?Ĭonsider: Apple's approach - to deliveries of Lion on day one - involved offering, to the five thousand or so developers who attended WWDC 2011, routines that focused on download. Please: how many times have you verified that the hacks - both to DVD and to removable USB flash drive - work repeatably and consistently for reinstallation (not first installation) to machines with FileVault 2 application of Core Storage full disk encryption (FDE), where both the EFI loginwindow (early boot process) and the launchd loginwindow are used?įollowing reinstallation using both types of hack: can all of the subset of 10.7 users, with prior authority to unlock the startup volume, continue to both unlock the volume and then login?
