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.

Hi Bob,
thank you for showing me that I am not the only one! That helps (at least
for my mind).
And yes I meant dual partition! Thanks for reminding me

Betreff: Re: OT: I want to buy Lion
Hi Tiemo. You are not alone. A lot of raised eyebrows are only now
relaxing
after learning of Apple's method of delivery.
If you upgrade to Snow Leopard and then do all the updates, you would see
in
your Apple Menu under Software Updates a new item called App Store. If you
went there and set up a new Apple Store account (or used an existing one)
you
could search for and purchase Lion. Once you did that, Lion would install
on
your computer.
Some people are surmising that soon Apple will sell Lion on a USB stick
(or
else how are all the Leopard users going to get it)? I tend to believe
these
rumors simply because it is unreasonable to require Leopard users to
upgrade
to Snow Leopard before upgrading to Lion (unless they make Snow Leopard
upgrade free).

Today I wanted to buy lion to make a dual boot install on my mac,
because I
had first customer calls telling me about trouble with my program on
lion.
Because of a slow internet connection I went to the next computer shop
and
heard them telling that lion won't be available on CD, only download. Ok
I
returned home, heading several nights of download, opened apple.com,
opened
the lion announcement and it pointed me first to itunes and then to the
macappstore, which couldn't be opened by my safari. Safari tells me that
it
can't open pages, beginning with macappstore://. So I begun to read
and
learned that snow leopard is a requirement to open the macappstore and
so to
buy lion!??? (I still have leopard on my mac and didn't wanted to
upgrade)
Trying to buy lion in a non apple online shop, they tell me I have to
buy it
at apple.
Never using my mac, beside of testing my programs, the restrictive apple
world is still a big secret for me, even after years. Can anybody shed
some
light on how I can buy a full version of lion (to create a dual boot)
without this silly macappstore? Or do I really have to go again to a
computer shop to buy snow leopard, install it to get ready for buying
lion?
I think I will never love apple.
Thanks for any hints
Tiemo
