Ok if I put this file on a flash drive can I make a clean install from
that flash drive? I mean does this file make a flash drive bootable? I
want to make a clean install using a flash drive not a dvd, how to go
about that please? Help.
Original message:
that's what I ended up doing. Disc utility was really confusing me, so
I asked myself that very same question; it seemed to me as though the
process was being made more difficult than necessary. So, I coppied the
.dmg file to a flash drive and then selected it and burned it from the
applications menu. I'm assuming it worked as expected, but haven't had
an opportunity to test it.

Thing is, how do you burn the file to a DVD within disk Utilities? Can
one not just focus on the file and open the shortcut menu and click
burn from there?

Teresa,
Yes, you did miss a couple of steps. Here is what I did.
1. You were right about finding the "InstallMacLion.app" open the
shortcut menu and click show package content.
2. Find the folder called "Shared Resources".
3. Inside that folder, you will find a file called InstallESD.dmg.
4. Copy that file to a new location such as the desktop.
5. I think you know the rest. Launch disc Utilities and burn the dmg
file to a dvd.
Enjoy

Hi, all,
Well, clearly, I've made a decidedly wrong turn here. I may have done
something entirely wrong or missed something, so here is what I've done.
I had to download Lion again, as it disappeared on me in the first
go-round. Once I downloaded it, I found Install Lion.app in the apps
folder. I used the contextual menu to find the "show contents" option,
and did not find a dmg file. I then chose 'burn to disc" and it did that.
I rebooted and pressed C for a number of seconds once I heard the
startup sound from the Mac Mini's external speaker. I got the usual
login screen. I tried it again with the same result.
I had doubts that a .app file/folder would burn as an image, and I am
thinking I did not burn an install file to the disc.
What now?
TiA,
Teresa
