that's what I ended up doing. Disc utility was really confusing me, so I asked myself that very same question; it seemed to me as though the process was being made more difficult than necessary. So, I coppied the .dmg file to a flash drive and then selected it and burned it from the applications menu. I'm assuming it worked as expected, but haven't had an opportunity to test it. Missy

Thing is, how do you burn the file to a DVD within disk Utilities? Can one not just focus on the file and open the shortcut menu and click burn from there? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Here is what I did. 1. You were right about finding the "InstallMacLion.app" open the shortcut menu and click show package content. 2. Find the folder called "Shared Resources". 3. Inside that folder, you will find a file called InstallESD.dmg. 4. Copy that file to a new location such as the desktop. 5. I think you know the rest. Launch disc Utilities and burn the dmg file to a dvd. Enjoy On Jul 22, 2011, at 12:59 AM, Teresa Cochran wrote: Hi, all, Well, clearly, I've made a decidedly wrong turn here. I may have done something entirely wrong or missed something, so here is what I've done. I had to download Lion again, as it disappeared on me in the first go-round. Once I downloaded it, I found Install Lion.app in the apps folder. I used the contextual menu to find the "show contents" option, and did not find a dmg file. I then chose 'burn to disc" and it did that. I rebooted and pressed C for a number of seconds once I heard the startup sound from the Mac Mini's external speaker. I got the usual login screen. I tried it again with the same result. I had doubts that a .app file/folder would burn as an image, and I am thinking I did not burn an install file to the disc. What now?
