All installed, decided to wipe and do a fresh install as my iMac has been going a bit sluggishly. Noticing a few speed improvements, however I've managed to remove my HD icon from Finder and I don't know how to get it back!! Help?!
should be in the finder preferences i think?

Sweet, sorted on all accounts there! (4550 and 4650!)
Also my disk has finally arrived.
But im 100 miles away now.
Have to wait till tomorrow
Cheers will try that when I get home. I'd have thought that pressing Enter would have run the app though? Guess not!
So my disc just came this morning too 
(nearly a week behind just from ordering it last friday and it being shipped over the bank holiday but oh well)
First impressions are that its quicker loading applications (firefox, itunes and adium are all almost instant which is really nice). Its magiced 20gig out of my hard drive (aka same amount of used space but more free which im not complaining about), and i actually like the new menu system for things on the dock.
Interesting thing its done is made my speakers louder, which is nice as they were getting drowned out by almost everything earlier in the week.
Finder's still indexing and i havnt tested out FM09 yet, but so far so good (on my 09 macbook pro)
Last thing to try out will be the 64 bit kernel

It hasn't really. For whatever reason Apple has deemed it necessary to change from calculating disk space in base-2 (what OS X did before and every other OS has always done) to base-10 in Finder*. Yet things like iTunes and iPhoto still do it in base-2. Makes me chuckle how much they've messed it up what with them making fun out of Mac OS X being simple while Windows is meant to be confusing...
*base-2: 1024Bytes is a KB, 1024KB is a MB etc.
base-10: 1000Bytes is a KB, 1000KB is a MB etc.
Hahaha ah not again! This has been a classic cause of confusion....
Ah well, definitely like snow leopard though
Not *strictly* true. Apple has removed a tonne of old Power PC code (Since Snow Leopard is Intel only...), cleaned up the codebases of all their major apps, and compressed app executables. In addition Snow Leopard now no longer installs all languages by default. According to Apple, this alone frees up around 7-8GB of space.
But you are right, yes, the way that they now calculate space (ie. The proper way!) accounts for the rest of it.
