Hi Nick, I was just wondering how would one perform this if they didn't have
internet access.
I know that sounds weird to say but who knows, there maybe some people out
there who don't have internet or who are just not interested in it.
In other words what can one do if they brought Lion and it crashed and the
person had no internet to fix it. Sure they could take it to an apple store
but I am wondering what can the individual do to fix it themselves without
the presence of internet access.
Thanks
Daniel

Hello Lynne,
New versions of the Mac Mini as well as the MacBook Air running 10.7 by
default come with what is called "Internet Recovery." This means that, if
you hold Command-R after the startup chime, then click "Reinstall Mac OS
X" from the Utilities in the Recovery utility, the Mac should prompt you
to log onto a Wi-Fi network or plug in an ethernet cable in order to
download the proper application from Apple's servers, then the
installation should proceed when the download is complete.
This is how, in theory, it is supposed to work for both OS X Server and OS
X.
Regards,
Nic

Hello everybody
OK, Gordon is working on the Mac Mini server and I thought I'd share some
issues with you if you're thinking of going that route.
Firstly, as you know, Lion server comes as is, with no DVD. This presents
a problem for us; as we use case sensitive format and that's important to
us. Problems; There is no way to re-format the HD because there is no
external DVD to boot from. Apple has apparently made it so that you
cannot downgrade the server to Snow Leopard. It refuses to boot from any
SL DVD. A message comes up saying "This OS is too old. You must run OS
10.7 Lion."
Therefore, the only way we can think of is to use our own Lion DVD and
hope that that works. But beware if you have the hardware and don't want
the Server version of the OS. It's a real swine to downgrade as
authorisation is required before you can even install.
