Rudy Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You have to extract the DMG from the Installer package contents and restore it a USB-stick, SDHC card, DVD or whatever. I'm trying it as we speak. Last time around I really did get a good look at Mac OS X Lion performance-wise because I did an upgrade from Mac OS X Snow Leopard. :/ Edit: Yup, the DMG is bootable once you restore it to another drive. Thanks I'll try that tonight :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/48/#findComment-593846074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 So I'm guessing you need an 8GB usb stick? You need a disc carrying at least 4,21 GB. So yeah a 8 GB USB stick works just fine. I'm using a 16 GB SDHC card, works too. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/48/#findComment-593846120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuerg87yerg879e0rg9erugjer Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 So I'm guessing you need an 8GB usb stick? DP1 was only 3.06Gb and i have not had the time to get DP2 yet so i am not sure sorry, but i wouldn't expect it to be the full 8Gb yet...

celticpride678 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 how so? An option in System Preferences? Finally got the new Lion build running on my MacBook - lot's of bugs have been addressed, some new ones are present, and some haven't been fixed. Overall, performance seems to be improved. Does anyone know where the download is for Java for this build? Thanks.

.Neo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Safari looks nicer in this build. I love the new window chrome, light grey with dots on them like the folder icons. The animations seems less smoother though compared to DP1. However, I'm not experiencing the stability issues PyX complained about.

tra Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Is it possible to update from DP1 to DP2? I don't want to loose my settings and programs Can you just installer 'over' DP1?

.Neo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 What exactly is the function of the Launchpad icons shaking? Unlike iOS I can drag them around in Mac OS X Lion while they're not shaking as well... Maybe I'm missing something... I still don't get why some windows animate while opening while some others don't.

Quillz Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Screens please? It's hard to show the very minor change with a typical screenshot, so I had to zoom in quite a bit: Leopard and Snow Leopard had a glossy, plastic look, whereas Lion has a "speckled" appearance.

Unlike iOS I can drag them around in Mac OS X Lion while they're not shaking as well... Maybe I'm missing something... I still don't get why some windows animate while opening while some others don't. After rebooting, things were a little more stable. The window animations is a GUI issue. They need to either remove them all, or apply them to every window. Honestly, they?re damn sexy when they?re there. It reminds me of when Gimpy pops up in The Undergrads in Nitz?s OS 9 computer. Flipping through pages to iCal is screwed up. Sometimes when you go back in time, the animation actually flips to the next page, but it shows you the good thing, and vice versa. What?s new in Safari in DP2 that wasn?t there in DP1? I think I?m missing something.

.Neo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 What I don't get is why Disk Utility animates when opening it for example, but Address Book doesn't. Makes no sense. The Preview toolbar icons look weird too, way too heavy drop shadows.

.Neo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 They modified the bezel volume symbols to be consistent with iOS. Managed to port it over to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. So now every time I change my volume I can pretend I'm already running Mac OS X Lion full time. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/48/#findComment-593847658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I just puked in my mouth a little. That looks horrendous! :x Sorry for the private question, but what did your puke look like? Coincidently, mine looked EXACTLY like the new iCal texture : rusty brown with unidentified dots floating around. Hasn't been updated since ages that's why... Yeah, while they?re at playing with ZFS and TRIM support, maybe they should do a major UI/GUI overhaul with this app. It?s starting to be urgent.
