[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1524170"] Yes, a very easy one: boot from the disc, and install from there. If your Mac doesn't have a disc drive, it can't run Snow Leopard. So there's that problem fixed. If you DO have a disc drive and its broken for some reason, buy a cheap USB replacement for $20-25. If you don't have a legal copy of Snow Leopard on DVD, buy one. It's $20 from Apple (you have to call and order it). That's it. No need to make a USB boot drive, which you'll certainly lose, wash or otherwise overwrite far sooner than you would a DVD that is put away when not in use. [/QUOTE]
