Update: Go to Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite if you want to install Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite instead. The instructions below will not work for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or later versions.
I thought it would be useful to put the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installer on a USB flash drive. It would be faster than reading from a DVD. I can use it with a Macbook Air or Pro Retina which do not come with a DVD drive. And the USB flash drive is more portable and robust than a DVD.
Note: I’m doing the following on a Macbook running Snow Leopard. The resulting USB flash drive will boot on Intel-based Macs only. If you want to boot the USB flash drive on a PowerPC-based Mac, please see the comments.
Create a DMG file
A tipster who has wished to be anonymous has just dropped in to let us know that the final version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 Build 10A432 has been leaked on the web through file sharing sites. DMG files are a Mac OS X Disk Image files. Like ISO files, DMG files are essentially disk images, which are intended to be used with the Mac operating system. The DMG files normally contain program installation files for Apple system and applications, but they can also be used to hold compressed files.
You can skip creating a DMG (Disk iMaGe) file if you clone directly from the Snow Leopard “Mac OS X Install DVD” disk to the USB flash drive. I just wanted a DMG file for speed and convenience; in case I need to clone to a dual-layer DVD or to another USB flash drive.
