So you can use the SL disk by booting from it and install it fresh? Might have to do that, never liked the idea of 'upgrading' Operating Systems, or in other words, I'm picky!

Installed and working, but...
64bit Kernel and Extensions = no, concerns me.
It doesn't boot into 64bit automatically. Try booting with 6 and 4 held down, or try the other thing with the file editing thing.

restart and let us know? what doesn't work in 64 mode then?
edit:
I've done some research and you need to edit your /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file from
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
to
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>
save that and it will start in x64 every time

Picking this up tomorrow, which are the essential folders to backup? So far I've only done Docs/Downloads/Music/Pictures, is there anything in the user directory that I should consider backing up?
Also, I've used Deja Vu so far since Time Machine was too much of a faff to backup specific folders, will this be OK?

Might want to back up your Applications folder too.
Thanks for this. Does this just save time post installation? Or is it to do with settings etc? Only recently converted over to my iMac, and obviously on a Windows machine, backing up Program Files wouldn't do you a lot of good.
This. Things will just get messy.
I've been playing around with Snow Leopard. Of those whose copies haven't arrived, you're not missing much. I've just been thankful for the chance to format and start afresh.
Already downloaded Xcode 3.2 (10.6) but sat twiddling my fingers over this long weekend :/
Thanks for the help guys. Im a proper tard tonight though, found and tried editting the plist, but, it wont save, changed the file permissions and it still wont let me save the changes.
Going to put the computers to sleep for the night and try again tomorrow when im more awake.

Happened to me too, save the file to your desktop then overwrite the existing file.
Depends on the applications. Some are fine.
Did a fresh install and...spinning beech ball on opening lots of apps. I'm really not sure if I did the right thing doing an 'erase and install'. The jury's still out.
The theory's good with stuff like 'Grand Central' but first impressions go in deep and I reckon there's a hefty Software Update coming to a machine near you.
my SL arrived this morning from the postman
I was just reading this and guess what just popped through the letter box
Lets see how quick this installs with an SSD..
