[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1303952, member: 8287"] Two hours is WAY long. I think even with my lowly (By Todays Standards) 3MB DSL that gets 318K Per Second till the end of the install was not much more than 2 hours. It took 2 hours here to download and I would say 15-20 MAX on the 2007 iMac to be at the desktop when I clicked on install. I did a Clean install to a separate Partition on the internal hard drive from a bootable Flash drive. It took 10 minutes to make the bootable drive, so I would say 2.5 hours from when I clicked Purchase and download from the App store till it was at the Lion Desktop and again that was with a new Clean install.
