For those who want a Lion startup disk, I downloaded it again and when the installer asked me to continue, just quit it and got the full installer in the Applications folder. Then it can be copied to a flash drive, and one can proceed as in Jon's link.
The suspense is whether I will get charged for a second download. When I go to purchases in AppStore, there is no longer an option to buy Lion but to install (must be done from a computer NOT running Lion). However, when I clicked that, my billing info reappeared and the credit card code had to be put in again. Will report whether they charged me twice or not. Right now the bank is processing the charges.
