There have been speculations about Lion only being installed through an update from Snow leopard 10.6.8.You will be able to update as Apple releases 10.7.x maintenance builds. “Golden Master” refers to the final release version.Things to Note about the Gold master and 10.6.8 release: I just got a hand of the Gold Master Build and I am making preperations to my harddrive and machine to have a fresh install of OSX Lion 10.7. Considering I use my hackintosh for college, I can’t really afford a half-ass OS on my main machine that wouldn’t work with my chemistry software. Though I was very pleased with the operating system and for a beta release it was very stable, it still had minor annoying glitches and some software conflicts. I could have attempted to write up a tutorial on how to install Lion on your hackintosh with the beta release, but if you recollect my previous post about Lion, you’ll remember I was testing the beta version out on my macbook pro. Now to get our hands dirty on the newest OS from Apple. Yay, finally a gold master release has been established.
