Instaling lion without Snow Leopard and Xmove + multibeast

[exopuppy]

To me, it sounds like making a bootable Lion disc does not fall into a banned category on the board. To make a Lion boot disc you need to have purchased the Lion installer from Apple first.

I'm in precisely that boat. I have a MacBook that shipped with SL. It's not a retail copy, and will only work in the computer it came with. I can't use it as an intermediate step to Lion on the hackintosh I'm building. But I legally downloaded Lion through the App Store on that laptop, I used Disk Utility to burn my own [legal as anything else we're doing here] Lion DVD installer, and I don't see why I can't use that on my hackintosh. Is that a no-no according to this site's philosophy?

Guys, at the moment, the supported procedure in simplified form:
- Update exisitng Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8
- Download latest MultiBeast and xMove
- purchase Lion from App Store, and install to current SL partition
- run MultiBeast to load Chimera (if you haven't done so)
- create partitions for the "installer" and Lion (if not updating the current SL)
- run xMove to load Lion installer
- reboot and load the installer
- run MultiBeast on the newly created Lion partition
- then ask question/s where you're having problems at

If you don't have a running Snow Leopard, look for several guides from the site. You might need a retail SL DVD.

Until Apple released a standalone Lion installer, don't expect the above supported procedures to change.
So, hang in there.
