Hide Installer Partiion

[Kapaaian]

Is there an easy way to hide/keep the installer partition from mounting once installation is complete? I don't really want to delete it (probably will be useful), but don't like seeing it either.

There's many solutions:

1- Hide the folder created in /Volumes/Installer, This will still mount the partition but simply hide it from Finder.

chflags hidden /Volumes/Installer

1b- Idem 1 but with another command (worked with my Win partition when chflags failed)

sudo SetFile -a V /Volumes/Installer

2- Exclude the partition from the automount daemon. The partition won't mount at boot but you can still do it with Disk Utility if you need it.

sudo pico /etc/fstab (creates the file if it's not there)
Then type this line:
LABEL=Installer none hfs rw,noauto
And then exit and save the file
