It is possible to copy with other tools (tar, cpio), just supply parameters preserving the most of file metadata.

But writing it directly to the USB drive does not work, because that would create a partition with almost no free space and still lacking some important files.Д®xtract base system image BaseSystem.dmg, convert into raw and mount too: dmg2img /mnt/installesd/BaseSystem.dmg BaseSystem.img InstallESD.dmg contains another disk image, BaseSystem.dmg, which is a bootable installer disk. Mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt/installesd Working as a root, convert InstallESD.dmg into raw image format and mount it using kpartx: dmg2img InstallESD.dmg InstallESD.img InstallESD.dmg is an image of a GPT disk with HFS+ partition which contains installer files, but is not bootable itself.

Manually it's as mentioned in MacWorld, but using the Linux tools:

In the following list we leave you the compatible equipmentДЄs you see iMac does not appear, something that surprises me since the latest models have the most updated versions of EFI, although it is possible that these versions, even though they are the latest, are not equally compatible.There's a ready script that automates this whole process. Of course, it must be made clear that not all Macs are supported because they do not have this feature. Once the OSXRESERVED partition is finished, it is deleted without leaving a trace or taking up space. Now newer Macs have the ability to detect this partition as if it were an installation media through the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) as if it were a USB flash drive or a DVD to carry out said installation.

El Capitan makes it easier and you just have to select the ISO and the amount of space that we want the partition to occupy Windows and click install, it's that simple.Д«ut then, where is the Windows installer partition? Very simple, OS X El Capitan apart from creating as it did previous versions of the system, a Boot Camp partition to install Windows, now it also creates another partition named OSXRESERVED which will occupy 8Gb in FAT32 format and which will be located after the recovery partition and before the Boot Camp partition.

I am referring to the change in Boot Camp, not because the Windows installation wizard has radically changed, but because now those users who want to install the Microsoft system on your Mac you will not have the need to create a partition on a USB memory, but it can be installed natively.Д«efore you had to plug in a USB memory and the Boot Camp Assistant I copied the installer from the ISO image to the memory unit and then downloaded and configured the necessary Windows drivers in the location where the installer for the hardware of that specific Mac was located. Apart from the news that we are getting to know little by little about OS X El Capitan, we also find others that, although it has not had so much impact, it may be interesting for certain users.
