Full install with Snow Leopard upgrade
Hello,
I have a MacBook which came with Leopard. When Snow Leopard comes out, I plan on doing a full install. I want to wipe my drive clean and start over. My question is, will I be able to do this with the $29 upgrade or will I have to buy the full fledged Snow Leopard?
Help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

To be more specific, Ireland is correct, with one exception. When you run the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD, you will be presented with the option of doing an upgrade or a clean install. But, if you plan on erasing the hard disk first with Disk Utility, then the upgrade DVD will not work. It must see the presence of Leopard, not an empty hard drive.
I don't think this is true, I have installed from scratch with my "Leopard upgrade DVD". At least I think I have.

I am positive I've tried and the Leopard Upgrade DVD will insist on a previous version of the OS. Anyway, it is still possible to do clean install the other way and I suspect you get the same results.
