You can easily burn the file to a disk once you download it.

Go to Applications, right click "Install Lion" and select show package contents ->Contents -> SharedSupport and then COPY (NOT DRAG) InstallESD.DMG to your desktop. Then open disk utility (Application -> Utilities) and drag the InstallESD file to sidebar, once that is selected hit "burn" and insert a blank DVD.

You now have an installation disk. You can also do it to a 5GB flash drive as well. (Similar method but slightly different)

Buckterrier, I can walk you through it via PM if you want...Hell even the phone could work...You're about 45 mins away from me if worse comes to worst.

I highly recommend a clean installation if your mac is somewhat slowing down.

My impression so far of Lion is about a 9.5/10. I am starting to get used to mission control...Still not as good as Spaces, though!
