Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion via the App Store. Is my Lion installer now deleted after the upgrade? I was hoping to burn a copy to a disc
Yes it deletes it after you install. Ridiculous I know. It took me 20 hours to download it in the first place and now I have to download the poxy thing again.
That was my experience and I've read about others having the same. Fortunately, I read those first and made a couple of backups first, before installing.
You'll probably have to download it again. When it auto-runs after download, just quit the installer app. Then proceed with backups of the Installer app.

Without getting dirty looks, I have the GM burned to a disk, I wanted to play around with Lion before it came out and then I went back to Snow Leopard and purchased Lion last night, only problem is that the upgrade feels sluggish and I want to do a clean install.
Is the GM definitely the exact same build byte for byte and if I do a clean install with that disc, will it work with my app store account and still say purchased and work exact same as burning the MAS version?
(I'm pretty sure the answer will be yes, just making sure )

Well the build numbers are the same, so I'd say so.
My monthly download cap isn't looking too pretty after the first download

Must be the same so
