Hold on a sec, I think you misunderstood. I bought a box version of 9. When i bought the macs with lion,i installed from the dvd, then installed 9.05 update that i downloaded for the site. I did not at any time get a full download of 9.05 as i bought the boxed copy. So i didm have access to the full download of 9.05. When i purchased 10 though it was a download version so i did have access to a full installer download of 10. - T.O.M
