As always, you can make yourself a dandy boot disk or USB drive by opening the installer's app bundle, and writing the following file to your favourite medium using the "restore" tab in Disk Utility.

    /Install OS X Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg

When you install/update the system it creates/update your restore partition. Does Apple still only put necessary file and then do an over the air installation or they put the whole system ready to install ?

I'm getting the error "Before installing OS X Mavericks, this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1. Click on the Updates button in the Mac App Store to install the update." even though I've applied the firmware update and there aren't any updates (besides Mavericks) in the Mac App Store. Any help?
