Hello Sarah
Yes; we've done that once. The build of Lion we have as an install.app is
obsolete I'd guess but I'm not sure about that. Has anybody downloaded it

We do have some UsB thumb drives although I don't think those will work either.

If you backed up the dmg in the install lion app file you could burn it to a
dvd and boot from it with your os less drive I believe. then just install lion

Hello Lynne,
As far as I know, this should work, as the Lion download is not specific to any

Many thanks indeed. I thought it would work; but I decided to check first

Thank you again.

mimic one of our MacBook Pro's using Time machine backup to restore it. The
backup is on a Time Capsule.
