I recently had to wipe my imac clean and reinstall 10.4 for system issues. I have 10.6 Snow Leopard, but can't install with out 10.5 Leopard. Any body know how I can get around this? OR have a Leopard CD I can use?
Thanks for the help fellas!

nonsense, you can install 10.6 over 10.4

Really? I will try it out tonight. I swear I thought you needed the progression before. Thanks!

if you purchased 10.6, it should install even on a blank HD

get the full version

Yes, purchasing the full version is your best/only bet. Isn't Lion only $30 anyway? Just get the newest one and be done with it.

full version is more like 129 bucks. 30 is the upgrade.

Last week I downloaded Snow Leopard off Pirate Bay (because the optical drive on my MBP is broken, so my legitimate copy of Snow Leopard is useless to me.)
It installed just fine, onto a blank hard drive.
