Does it install a fresh copy to /Volumes/Install #3

Thanks a lot for sharing this! I learned a lot by reading it. Excellent use of :tangle setup.command, I can selectively remove sections to customize my setup!

Would it be possible to expand the initial few sections of the readme.org? For example I believe the macOS Setup section's createinstallermedia creates a bootable volume for the macOS Sierra installer. This volume is then set as $CACHE variable and used later in the first few sections. Does this mean the installation step is skipped (in the readme.org) and one should install macOS Sierra from the bootable media?

I was under the impression that the installer forces one to create primary user (which has admin powers by default) during the installation process. Is the user creating process mentioned in the readme.org for creating additional, perhaps non-admin user? This way, most of the work is done by non-admin user and the installation process requires one time entering of the admin user password?

Ah, I see this is still a work in progress: https://github.com/ptb/2017.8.21 ? If so, I hope you get it working before High Sierra comes out next month :)
