OT: I want to buy Lion

[Arie van der Ent]

Hi Tiemo,

It is not necessary to wait for Lion on a USB-stick. Don McAllister from screencastsonline did the following;
1. buy Lion from App store;
2. make a copy from the installer (in your application folder);
3. open up the copy of the installer package, then open the folder Shared Support in it;
4. there you'll find InstallEDG.dmg;
5. copy this file to an USB-stick 8 gb.

That's all.
