Create Yosemite ISO Install File

If you already have the "OS X Yosemite.app", be sure to move it to the Application
folder before you do anything else. We are going to use the "Terminal" method to
convert the files to an ISO file. You will find the Terminal in "Applications" then
"Utilities."

Mount Installer Image to your Mac OS


# hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\
Yosemite.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -
mountpoint /Volumes/install_app

Create Yosemite ISO File


# hdiutil convert /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -format UDSP -o /tmp/Yosemite
# hdiutil resize -size 8g /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage
# hdiutil attach /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint
/Volumes/install_build
# rm /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/Packages
#cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/
#cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.* /Volumes/install_build/

Unmount Installer Image


# hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app
# hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_build

Resize and Convert to ISO File


# hdiutil resize -size `hdiutil resize -limits /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage | tail -n
1 | awk '{ print $1 }'`b /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage
# hdiutil convert /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage -format UDTO -o /tmp/Yosemite
# rm /tmp/Yosemite.sparseimage
# mv /tmp/Yosemite.cdr ~/Desktop/Yosemite.iso
