Re: Quick Question, i.e., Mountain Lion Installation Copy
My Apple Pro Tower came with Mounting Lie-un Installed. There is no Install OS X Mountain Lion.app on my hard disk Drive. How can I get an Install OS X Mountain Lion CD (or DVD if need be) without paying FULL RETAIL ? BTW, I hate this downloading of any software. without a provision to make or buy a CD copy. I paid an extra $10.00 to get a CD copy of the Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.4 Up Grade … which I still haven't received. RHB Weaseling out of things is good.

It's created by the OS when it goes into a deep sleep. The complete copy is required because at that point, the Mac essentially turns itself off. When you wake it up, memory is quickly reloaded from that file. You can get rid of it by disabling deep sleep. There is also an Install OS X Mountain Lion.app in the appllication folder.
