First thing, good luck with this upgrade.

I used the following guide to upgrade/install SL.

Install Snow Leopard WITHOUT a USB DVD drive, using your 10.5.8 and Windows

I was hoping to see an upgrade path, but I think I didn't have enough room on my partition to do it. So I opted to reformat and reinstall. I was already prepared for that since I backed up all my local directors onto a USB device.

NOTE: I have a 10v, so this *might* not work for you.
