Following the above, i've been attempting to create USB key of "yosmeite" ...

Currently running Mojave, so I think the command is the issue..... As Apple changed the --applicationparth, i'm not sure which is which now..

Are you passing the sudo command based onthe currentOS (Mojave) I am running, or the createinstallmedia i am issuing to ?

I tried both ways,but all i get is:

$ hdiutil create -type UDIF -size 7g -fs HFS+J -volname YOSEMITE ~/Desktop/DVD
created: /Users/user/Desktop/DVD.dmg

$ hdiutil attach ~/Desktop/DVD.dmg
/dev/disk2 GUID_partition_scheme
/dev/disk2s1 EFI
/dev/disk2s2 Apple_HFS /Volumes/YOSEMITE

$ sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/ --volume /Volumes/YOSEMITE/
Password:
sudo: /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found

$

If i open the Yosemite package, the createinstallmedia is definitely there. I've come to the conclusion it must be some issue with the fact i'm doing the command from a newer OS.

I reckon diskmaker X would over come this ? However i'm wanting to use Terminal for this.

Sorry. You'll never succeed creating a USB key using command meant to create a DVD image. Try this:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
