10.7: How to get a full Lion install disc for a new MacBook Air or Pro
Thanks very much. Is 'restore' different than having the InstallESD.dmg on the 32G USK key with those extra files - all straight from the download? I'm asking because the free space on the 32G is quite large and I could find better uses for it - or would it matter if I have extra files on it besides the InstallESD.dmg file? In other words is there something about the procedure 'Restore' to an external USB which makes it into a boot disk vs just having the InstallESD.dmg from the original Lion 'capture'?

The other files you have on the usb drive aren't necessary. You have the OS X Lion disk image (InstallESD.dmg) which you need to "extract" to a disk (via the restore option, don't just open it and copy over files)
