Awesome tip on the trackpad & bummer about AirParrot!
Just noticed on the AP specs page there's a driver issue with our model's graphics card. Oh well!
Thanks again!
I thought it was funny
Oh and also true.
Don't pretend like you know anything about California.

Oh god I could talk your ear off about CA but I won't so don't worry.
Would love it if someone could figure out how to make this bootable.
Don't like the idea of going over my ML installation and it's a pain in the ass to partition, then install ML then upgrade.
Don't really know why they've removed the BaseSystem.dmg from this release.

Could you possibly offer up a few screenshots of the installers folder structure in List view in finder? With hidden files visible perferably. I could probably figure it out but I don't have a copy.
Mavericks - ugh!
Looks like a great update, but an ugly name - Mavericks.
Apple should have talked to a linguist, or an ad person.
Lion, Mountain Lion, they are all beautiful sounding names.
Mavericks - ugh - what were they thinking?

Mavericks is a beautiful Pacific coast beach here in northern California, famous for its giant waves and annual surfing competition.

I am very happy to see that my 2008 Mac Pro squeaked in again. Hope that sticks for the final release.
Here we go, everything including hidden files. I didn't expand the resources folder as it's just images etc for the installer GUI.
It's the first time that I've looked at it with hidden files enabled. I guess BaseSystem is there.
Agreed, naming OS's after places is unimaginative and derivative. and Mavericks is clunky. Intels processor names fail to excite similarly.
Well I guess this shouldn't have been a surprise. The one thing Californians share more than anything is an overly rosy view of how awesome their big screwed up state is.

No more big cats
We can call it Sea Lion if we want.
I still call Thunderbolt "Light Peak".
Looks like you need to open the BaseSystem.dmg. Inside there will be another filesystem, including a shortcut for the Packages folder(At I THINK /System/Library/Packages). Delete the shortcut, put the real packages folder in its place, and it should be good to go.
EDIT: The alias is at /System/Installation/

EDIT: Ok what's the best way to go about doing this?
I take it I then restore BaseSystem.dmg to my USB stick instead of InstallESD when it's done?
Right click and select OPEN. The hidden files and folders are like that. Then let me see a file structure of it if that works.
We will have this figured out momentarily. Chances are you can just restore the BaseSystem.dmg to USB stick, and then replace the alias for the packages folder with the actual packages folder from the InstallESD image.
Ok, restoring BaseSystem now, pretty sure I can do the resources copy (it's the same method for making a ML stick).
Will take a while as my USB drive is sloooow.
Exactly what I was thinking. Same as with Mountain Lion. Let us know how it works out.
Definitely not my black MacBook (2006). No Apple love for us 32-bitters.
c'mon 7 years is a long time
