custom .dmg image and OS X USB installation

Dear Experts,

I have already created .dmg image from new custom ElCapitan including all printers, software, etc.

I am trying to make boo table USB like the one with El Capitan but instead of using my custom .dmg image.

I use disk imager 5 with clean El Capitan OS X and USB 16GB drive - that works fine, but how can I create the one with custom build dmg image?

Works like a charm.

*Edit, never mind I need to learn to read.

Would doing it the old fashioned way work for you?

Hi Chad,

The old fashion kind of worked, When I booted up - it recognized the USB but could not restore anything from it. Simply like there was no OS on that USB.

I will try autoDMG. Thank You,

yes this is basically abut creating dmg but I have already have this ready. I am trying to create a boot-abale USB with that dmg and use it as installation on other machine(s)
