[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1261664, member: 101749"] Questions are fine, thats is why we are here. You will be fine. Update your current OS to 10.6.8 when your done with your project, then wait until Lion becomes available on the MAS. SL is a complete OS not a upgrade and you can buy the discs just to have them. Make sure you have a Bootable Backup of your SL before you attempt to install Lion when it arrives as well. The way lion will be installed as far as we can gather is it will create a install partition and install the Lion OS on that. Then from there Lion can be installed as the new OS. You should be able to make a bootable USB with the OS as a backup as well . . . No one is 100% sure yet until its released and Apple tells us more . . You dont need Leopard. You can also buy SL just to have the disks, [I]just in case[/I] [/QUOTE]
