Can I create a BM2 USB installer from an existing 11.2.3 dl or do I have to redownload it again? Limited Bandwidth here :( I have istallMacOS.dmg in /Applications? Where does BM2 store dl’ed install dmg? Create Install Disk is getting stuck at 8%?

To use an existing 11.2.3 download, it needs to be an Install macOS application inside /Applications.

2.0.5 downloads the installer pkg to /Users/shared but it installs the Application afterwards.

If it is frozen. Quit Bigmac2 and and make sure the installer application is present in /Applications

Then build the installer disk (second button) on the first screen.

Solved... Sorry Todd, I had copied a Mojave installer to /Apps instead of the 11.2.3 installer. My bad. It is creating USB installer now.

Now it’s hanging at 72% downloading the bigmac2.dmg? It’s only 700mb. I left it for 3 hrs? Nothing written to usb, just hangs?
