*** The OS X Lion Thread ***

Any idea how much space you lost for the recovery partition?

Nothing here from the looks of it.

All 80Gb of my Intel SSD is still there.

And Mail is ****ed!

This isn't a good start at all...

 

[Tom84]

STILL downloading

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Not really wanting to lose space for a restore partition but do want to have the whole disk encryption. No choice really

One day I'll buy a decent sized SSD.

Think I'll hold off and get it downloaded/installed tomorrow.

Question, if I download Lion on my iMac, is there a way to also get it on my Macbook? Do I just redownload from app store or do I have to pay twice?

And did I see someone said Spaces isn't on Lion??

 

[AtticusFinch]

Buy once

You can install it on as many machines (by redownloading without further cost) as you have registered to the same apple id iirc.

Ugh it's too tempting. Time Machine backup then onward with Lion.

 

[Gadge]

is it me or is scrolling less smooth now?

 

[Jimbeam3678]

i'm quite liking it at the moment to be honest. Not huge differences but still enough to easily make it worth £21

 

[IceBus]

Nevermind, just figured out how to see download speed in the App Store.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Look in your purchased section of the App Store, will show you how long is remaining.
Just creating my restore disk now, woo!

 

[Logsi]

This is the first OS X release which i'm not snapping up on day 1...

I think i'm going to wait for benchmarks before diving in. None of the "new" features appeal to me either.

 

[TriedandTested]

Anyone figured out how to make Google Chrome go back and forth through pages using multitouch, now? Three fingers used to do it. Now I can't find a configuration that allows this functionality.

Yeah, took me an age to work it out. Hold 'alt' when you swipe. I expect an update or something will make it easier in future.

 

[Kainz]

Coming down the pipe at 3mb here. Shouldn't be long. My uMacbook's all time machined up!

As AtticusFinch says you don't need to pay twice, (as long as both machines are using the same App Store account).

As for downloading it twice, well if the way of creating a DVD/USB installation media from the download (prior to running the installer) works then you could use that to upgrade the other machine without re-downloading again. In theory at least.

 

[IceBus]

Hmmmm my download has now stalled at 1.26GB...

 

[Mullins]

In Snow Leopard using the finder I used to be able to use a 3 fingered swipe gesture to quickly navigate back through the folders I had been browsing, this seems to have disappeared, or has anyone found it?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Installing from USB drive to SSD = win!
5 minute install, w00t.

 

[Loafer]

liking it so far pretty seamless one button press update

not sure about having my name up on the task bar at the top though

 

[Steedie]

Downloaded and installed

Absolutely love it. Had my trackpad since Christmas but barely used it as I had a Magic Mouse, now it's got a use! And the gestures are so good

 

[FreeStream]

Finally making progress, although some apps just refused to use SL preferences, maybe because I did a clean install.

I might have to get a magic trackpad for my Mac Pro.
