I apologize if I am missing something, but the only image I have for Big Sur is 11.1, I would like to make sure I am able to upgrade to the latest 11.2. I presently have no source for the 11.2 image. Can this be found outside of the Mac App Store, or is there a local directory I can find the image in after upgrading one of my supported Macs?

Apple does not normally provide InstallAssistant.pkgs for beta macOS (excluding the summer betas). Since 11.2 is still in beta, there currently is no InstallAsisstant.pkg for it, so you can't upgrade to that version on a patched install. Once 11.2 is out to the public, you will be able to upgrade.

@BenSova Oh I thought 11.2 was already out of beta, but thanks for that info. So let's say it was out of beta how would I obtain the the image would it then be stored somewhere locally on a supported machine from which I could copy it?

No, it's hosted on their servers. If you want the link for the InstallAssistant.pkg, I will always be hosting the list of active links here -> https://bensova.github.io/patched-sur/installers/Release.json for my patcher.

Thanks very much @BenSova. I will be happy to do my part to support that cause.
