[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1274416, member: 61193"] So you download Lion from AppStore, which takes a while with a slow link. You remember to make a copy before the system deletes this large download. You make a bootable disk/USB for future use, in case you have to reinstall. The installation process creates a Recovery partition in case you have to reinstall. However, when you do try to reinstall, despite having a copy of Lion on Disk/USB/Recovery partition, the system downloads the whole thing from Apple again. Leaving out the profanity, this seems less than ideal :D [/QUOTE]
