Hi,

can I force a internet recovery, even when I do have a recovery 
partition on my hard disk from which I could install a new system?

I've been in the situation last week, that the recovery partition of my 
Mac Book contained the last public beta of Yosemite, but I wanted to 
reinstall the system with the stable release of 10.10. Unfortunatly 
I've found no solution how to force a fresh installation of the stable 
release because always the beta from the recovery partition was used 
:-(.

I've found also no way to force internet recovery in this situation, 
also I was not able to delete the recovery partition :-(.

Cheers,

  Christian
