You can actually burn DVD install media, if you like.

Download the Lion package. Right-click the downloaded file and choose "Show Package Contents" from the downloaded installer. You'll see a folder called Contents. Open it. Inside you'll see another folder called Shared Support. Open that.

In the Shared Support folder, you will find a file named "InstallESD.dmg". As the name suggests, this is a complete, bootable disk image for Lion, ready to be burned to DVD with Disk Utility.

Run Disk Utility. Drag the InstallESD.dmg into the Disk Utility Volumes pane on the left-hand side of the window. Click on it and then click Burn. Viola! Your own bootable Lion installer DVD!
