installing new os on macbook

I am installing a new OS on my macbook. I have had this macbook for about 3 years. I bought it from work. It was easier than paying for a new one. I was hoping to get a Lion install disk but no luck. I hate people who take the Disc out of the box, give you the box, then throw out the disc. why?

Anyways, I downloaded Mavericks last night and started formatting a USB drive. Making a bootable USB drive was not that difficult but stupid process that had to be followed. Why are the dmg marked as hidden in the first place? No one will look inside the contents but people trying to fix something and the hidden flag makes it more difficult than necessary.

After that it boots and installs ok. Now to install all the shit I need to work.

I have some basic tools which need to be installed. But I found out Mavericks includes an older version of git. Nice on one hand and fucking annoying on the other. The concept of basic tools with the OS is good. The annoying part is not being able to uninstall the shit.

I am just reminded why I just wanted Lion installed and could restore my settings and at least get back to work. But no, wasting hours downloading shit. I should be back up by tomorrow.
