DiskMaker X: Build a bootable OS X 10.10 Yosemite USB drive

Ok, so you need a USB stick with OS X 10.10 Yosemite inside (for fresh install etc...):

WARNING! AS A RESULT *A GENERIC YOSEMITE USB STICK* IS CREATED. MAKE SURE IT SUITS YOUR NEEDS!
  • First off, download OS X 10.10 Yosemite from the App Store
    • You do have a Mac with Yosemite already installed, don't you? That's what is needed
    • As default Yosemite is downloaded to a folder called /Applications
    • Downloading takes some time
  • Install Diskmaker X
    • From Diskmaker X website:"As soon as you launch the application, it tries to find the OS X Install program with Spotlight. Then, it proposes to build a bootable install disk and make it look as nice as possible. It’s the easiest way to build an OS X Installer in a few clicks !"
  • Find a 8 GB USB stick (not sure if 4 GB is ok)
    • No need to format, Diskmaker X takes care of it
    • Place USB stick in your Mac
  • Start Diskmaker X
    • Follow the instructions on screen
    • The screenshots below are from my Desktop:
  • IMPORTANT! Did Diskmaker X do the trick? Did my USB Yosemite stick work? Yes and yes. I'm very pleased!
Choose "Yosemite (10.10)"
Choose "Use this copy"
Choose "An 8 GB USB thumb drive"
Click the volume (in my case "Mac OS X install DVD"),
then choose "Choose this disk"
Choose "Erase then create the disk"
Choose "Continue"
Wait
Choose "Continue", read the FAQ at
Diskmaker X website
Choose "Make a donation" if you want
