Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) is due for a release any day now and some members might have some questions on moving from 10.x to Snow Leopard once they purchase the latest OS from Apple.

For more info on these different types of installs, refer to Apple's Knowledge Base.
Now about the installation itself!
1- Just insert the DVD in the optical drive
2- Restart your Mac while holding down the C key
3- You will be guided through the installation procedure and be prompted at one point to choose which install option you want
4- Once the Snow Leopard install is completed the Mac will restart itself
5- You will probably be asked to register with Apple upon restart (which you can do or not BTW)
6- Enjoy Snow Leopard on your Mac!
Hope this helps!

The ways to install
When you start the upgrade process, you’ll get to choose one of these ways to install Snow Leopard on your Mac.
- Simple Upgrade: This option upgrades all the important components of your old system software while preserving all your personal files and most settings. Could it be any easier?
- Erase and Install: This method completely erases the destination volume, then installs a new copy of Mac OS X. You’ll have to copy all your files and re-enter all your account settings.
