Great video, thanks! So to create a Bootable installed for an old Mac (2012 Mac Mini), using my M1 Mac Mini, I should use the 'Package' option? I am not sure if I'd need the ISO image though to create a USB bootable installer for the old Mac?
There are two ways to approach this: You could download just the .app file (leave every setting at its default). It'll give you a warning saying, "This installer is incompatible," but it will let you download it anyway. Then, you'll be able to use the createinstallmedia command in Terminal to create the bootable drive. Or, you could select the icon to the right (the hard drive icon) to let Mist create the bootable installer. It will give you the same warning, but proceed anyway, and it will copy the installer to your USB drive and make it bootable!

@@thenetworkmystery Perfect, thanks. That must be the ‘Package’ option as suspected. Great tool! Thanks for your help! 😅
Mist itself is incompatible for me
It requires macOS Monterey and later.
