I'm currently downloading Lion via the Mac App Store. In following MacRumors directions, maybe I'm missing something. Is there a point after Lion is downloaded that we're offered the opportunity to choose to install or wait until later? Most app's from the store install automatically.

Also, can anyone advise which folder the Lion install is downloaded to?

Just wanting to make sure I'm not missing a step.
 
Kinda - the comments indicate that it's not a totally automatic installation, so there's an opportunity to burn it to a DVD or copy to a USB stick.
 
Once the download from the Mac App Store is done, you'll have an installer in your Applications folder to begin the upgrade. It doesn't start automatically.

Ah! Excellent. Thanks for the confirmation. I have a USB drive ready to create an install "disc" with.
