Will a Snow Leopard installation be easy enough for a 15 year old?

You can gail should get together for a group install. I predict great things…

Yes.

It is pretty easy. You stick the disk in and a window will open with a icon to install Snow Leopard. Double click on that and your computer will restart into the installer. It will ask you what language you want to use. To upgrade you click about three buttons (it is really obvious) and then you go to get something to eat. By the time you get back it will probably be done and will boot into Snow Leopard. You are done.

If you bought the copy for 29$ you might not be able to do a clean install since it needs to check that Leopard is already installed (this is still unknown. Likely, but not confirmed). On the full install disk that comes with iLife and iWork you can do a clean install. But the option to do that has now moved into Disk Utility.

I just did a upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 and everything is working fine.

And you don’t need to install all the updates prior to installing. It is going to overwrite all that stuff anyway.

@johnpowell Thanks! I just hope i’ll be able to clean install. I want to get rid of all my junk. Maybe i’ll have to upgrade then have the option to clean install? I hope.

If you want to go a few clicks further, you can save a few GB of space on your hard drive. When you get to the Customize button, you can uncheck Additional Languages and Fonts, and any printers that you wont be using.

@simpleD :: Now it only installs drivers for the printers that it actually sees during the install.

@Shi: S/he is underage, unfortunately. Milo will help me. Or, I should say, I will assist him.

I am delighted to know that I can get rid of most of the Additional Languages and Fonts.

I think so.

yes

even if she’s mildly retarded
