Responding to both you and joemike...
All points well taken, but neither of you has touched on what I'm really thinking, probably because neither of you has considered the matter with respect to a recovery partition created by CCC.
A CCC recovery partition is a disc image located at /Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/Recovery HD.dmg, and I was wondering if simply having the dmg somewhere on my deuced Mac(hina) without the presence of an appropriate OS would be a qualifying circumstance. (I won't have time to do what I now see is the requisite checking until I get back from FL next week.)
