The App Store downloads an application installer app for Lion, does the install, then deletes the installer app. You can force the App Store to download another copy of the app to use for installing on other drives, I don't see a way to have it download just once. A bit of a pain, but it works ok.It doesn't seem to work like the disk image of other upgrades. Once you start the download it wants you to continue all the way through installation. I don't see where there is a saved image unless you then clone to another drive but then you could simply just download again from the App Store.
You can only buy Lion from the App Store so you'll need Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to obtain it.do we need snow leopard? i believe i have only the old leopard . or do we need to go to snow leopard then to lion?
I've been running Snow Leopard since last Spring when I bought my Intel-based systems. I never found any bugs of significance. Snow Leopard runs noticeably faster on Intel machines, and consumes less RAM in the process.I'm still very happy with Leopard. At first glance, I'm not that interested in what Lion has to offer.
I suppose it might be time for me to "upgrade" to Snow Leopard (if it's not too late).....have the bugs been worked out of Snow Leopard, or did Apple just move onto something "new and improved" in the meantime?
Hi GodfreyPerformance is a question mark as yet ... I don't see too much difference in most things, some things I think it's a little snappier, some things seem a trifle slower.
Nothings crashing or making me feel like I need to re-clone my Snow Leopard system back so far.
You'll need Snow Leopard to get Lion ... I'd suggest getting it soon if you don't already have it.
Well ? Four hours passed ... :watch:Hi Godfrey
on the basis of your posts I'm installing it right now - if it doesn't work out you'll start feeling sharp pains in about 3 hours
I dunno ... I was asleep ... I woke to a sharp sensation of pressure but I knew what that was immediately and it's been taken care of now. ]'-)Well ? Four hours passed ...
You can always change it back to the "wrong" way from the system settings.- the back to front scrolling is odd, but obviously correct (it's just that we learned how to do it wrong).
