I have windows vista at at the moment, I bought my computer with Vista.
If I install iAtkos, will it remove vista ?

I am going to install iAtkos on a partition.

Field Note #1 @Taisto 2009-10-05

Sorry but i have difficulties understanding Your question.
If You want to install Snow Leopard, You need existing Leopard installation ( unless You know how to do it other way ).

You need Leopard distro ( like iAtkos ) installed on Your HD, and Snow Leopard Retail DVD to install Snow Leopard. So if I understand correctly, You need both iAtkos and Snow Leopard DVD, unless You want to run older version of Mac OS ( 10.5 Leopard ) - in that case, iAtkos will be enough.

Field Note #2 @JacKal45 2009-10-08

Is installing Snow Leopard on top of iAtkos like doing a system update from apple? i.e. does it require as vanilla an install as possible for it to work?

Field Note #3 @thorazine74 2009-10-08

I would not advise to do an upgrade over retail leo, much less over a distro.
Theoratically can go well, but as you probably have no clue about what kexts iatkos installed or if they would work in snow, in 32 bits of course, you will not get a stable snow that way.
