Lion recovery disk mode - downloading more stuff


i'm moving lion snow leopard new mbp. first tried reinstall apps reduce clutter, found out couldn't figure out how keep itunes , iphone sync old hdd, migrated old user files using migration assistant , ended creating second user instead. started acting weird , freezing time. i'm trying clean install of lion built-in recovery disk.

when choose recovery disk, needed internet connection download "additional components." thought recovery partition didn't need connected internet that. made recovery usb stick lion recovery assistant , still needs internet connection.

question is there way create bootable usb recovery disk doesn't require internet connection , downloading stuff?

know convoluted way of migrating old stuff old hdd somehow created mess. it's totally stressing me out. :mad:
 

there many ways go if understand issue correctly. can use dmg image when booted external drive..you erase hard drive want install new os on via disk utility. format it. open dmg , select newly erased drive when prompted during install process..this way have done it, boils down preference.

may raising question rather answering, i'm wondering if booting cmd+r different booting holding "option"...i'm wondering if holding option while boots , selecting recovery drive if act differently...

more clever in area can assist further.
