[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1367341, member: 38864"] You don't have the right to sell that Mac with Snow Leopard installed unless you transfer the license along with the install discs to the new owner. Besides, if the new owner finds himself needing to reinstall Snow Leopard, he's going to find himself in a pickle. That said, you can simply install Snow Leopard. No need to install a prior OS first. At the bare minimum, you should include the original install discs that came with the Mac. They are only usable on that specific model anyway, and have tools like the Apple Hardware Test that are not available otherwise. To be true to your licensing agreements, you should include the discs for Snow Leopard and, if SL was the "upgrade" priced version, the discs for Leopard as well. [/QUOTE]
