Hello James We've now changed our mind on this one. We don't want the machine to be an exact duplicate of the MBP's we use because those machine are all configured with Lion Server and that isn't how we want the little MacBook to be configured.
So I'm now looking for another way of installing Lion from scratch. We could maybe create a DVD but it's a bit messy. We do have some UsB thumb drives although I don't think those will work either.

I've not tired this though as I use CCC.
