    El Capitan on HP Mediasmart EX490

    Install Mavericks (+ server) on HP Mediasmart EX490

    See El Capitan thread I created for install instructions. I found Yosemite install flaky and the instructions here not correct. (had to add drop DDST and generate CPU states.) But El Capitan is much more stable, so I would skip Yosemite and go straight to El Capitan. Sierra UniBeast crashed...
