Incredibly Confused on how to do a Mountain Lion install

[dylin]

The guide on installing mountain lion doesn't seem to make sense to me. (http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html)

So after purchasing Mountain Lion, you create a USB thumb drive for Unibeast.

But what do you do with the Purchase of mountain lion. No where in the instructions does it say what to do with it. it doesn't say to make a bootable thumb drive with it. It pretty must just says have it downloaded.

Can someone explain what I'm missing please?

Unibeast uses it to create your USB flash drive, which you then use for installing.

Alright, so that means that you have ML installed on the thumbdrive with unibeast?

Yes you buy Mountain Lion then download unibeast and follow the guide you posted to make your usb stick. But you need a mac to do this. Or another osx install at least.

unibeast requires the mountain lion download is in the applications folder on the real mac. It uses the download to create your thumb drive.

step 1. download ml, make sure its in the applications folder
step 2. start unibeast and follow the instructions.

These tools are very user friendly once you actually get into it.

This should really be in the guide and seems somewhat random to me. Other programs for making bootable usb installers tend to have a browse option for the disk image such as UNebootin. Thank you cruizinmax btw for the explanation.
