I can confirm that I was successful with the bootstrap from TheCaptain with an earlier version of El Capitan public beta. I’ve now installed the Golden Master Candidate, and will do a fresh install just to be sure.

I’m happy to try that again as well. My previous attempt to use that tree were unsuccessful.
