Guys, I'm just doubt a thing; is 18A391 Final Release or still GM? Thanks.
It’s the final, the GM is 18A389
Not so sure about that, downloading from Software update on 2010 iMac, App Store first then redirected to Software Update

Server at Apple is running slow. It says 3 hours 25 minutes. I am on a Gigabit Internet. Not sure if I should start again downloading.
Paused now it says 2 minutes.

It probably will be pushed to me via Software Update (not as yet, though) -- but I don't want to update. For the final version, I want to do a clean install and I don't know how to interrupt the Software Update and convert the files that it downloads into a clean installer. Even if I did, it would be more trouble than it's worth -- so I'm just patiently waiting for dosdude1 to update the files that the Patcher will download. (As he just posted: "Shortly"!
)I'm also waiting for the download because I like to have the installer app before I update via System Preferences.It probably will be pushed to me via Software Update (not as yet, though) -- but I don't want to update.

AFAIK, the patcher has not been updated yet. I don't know tho. Ask @dosdude1
Downloaded the latest Mojave and rebuilt my flash drive. Installing now. Have my fingers crossed.
Seems the patcher app will not let me make the usb stick keeps failing.
I am a novice, is this being done on a clean stick? If not wipe the stick and it has to be at least 16GB in size.
Is there any workaround for the GT 120 graphics card?
Mojave won’t install for me because OS X requires it to so much as SEE the installation process. I have a GTX 980 installed and use it in both OS X and Windows, but to use it in OS X requires the nVidia web driver, which can’t be installed until AFTER Mojave is installed.
It’s nonsense.

yes it's a clean stick but I think the patcher I have is too old.
I believe I have the 1.2.0 patcher, but it simply fails to download anything.
The servers are down again, I think @dosdude1 is pushing updates.
Mine was updated yesterday, as I wanted to be ready to install today.
Lucky you lol.
Guess I gotta wait till the new patcher is uploaded.
My server is under extreme load, it will be down for an unknown amount of time until I get this sorted out.
Technically, I did this weird experiment once, you could copy an "already expanded macOS Installer" manually into a not-empty USB drive, so without wiping the drive, but it won't work, I mean, it could boot but will give many permissions errors, simply because they are embedded into the BaseSystem.dmg, while the "Packages" must be copied manually, not restored as the BaseSystem.dmg.
The BaseSystem.dmg expanded image is an HFS+ MacOS Extended (NOT journaled)
while any HFS+ Volumes are MacOS Extended Journaled.
Instead you can repartition your USB stick keeping your datas, but it must be expressly in GUID partition scheme, so you can have more than a partition to boot a MacOS Installer and another for example FAT32.

I hope you didn't take that as a did. I was just saying that I wanted to get it earlier.
Just saw that, hope you get it up and running.
I tried the same thing got error copying it over gave up and did it the original way.
