In Step 1 you write: Get El Capitan running in a VM - this is a supported and easy procedure and so I won't go into this.
My question: Is that using the Install Mac OS X 10.11.5 Recovery Partition feature in Parallels? Or is there another way? The reason I ask is that using the former and the Reinstall OS X option in the process tells me it will take 7 hours and 22 minutes and rising to finish this process on a high speed cable connection! That seems odd to me. A few seconds later it's up to 9 hours and 55 minutes...... Now 18 hours and 2 minutes.... It's now at over 28 hours What's going on here?
