[QUOTE="thorn101, post: 1314080, member: 219407"] Just a quick addition. My original answer was meant for the situation where you decide to keep your mac. If you still want to work from your mac, but are hesitant to have a Lion installation present (which I understand) you could go the route that I previously explained, with the extra last step of making a clone of your installation with the free (and awesome) tool called Carbon Copy Cloner to an external usb drive (has to be usb wired, no NAS or wireless). This tool will make (as the name suggests) a complete clone of your installation. You can then option boot into your usb drive and work from there, just as if everything was still installed on the built in hard drive. Only, do make sure that the usb drive is big enough to contain your installation. If you want you can then again erase the internal drive as you have previously done, intstall the base Leopard installation and leave it at that for the future owner. P.S May I ask why you don't want to boot from usb. That is by far the most stable way of getting stuff done. I understant that a lot of people have invested in Network Attached Storage solutions. But from what I have seen it does not always work as expected. [/QUOTE]
