and the 32bit kernel can run 64bit apps without restarting... if u boot in 32bit and look at the "activity monitor" you will see that all the core apps/processes are infact running in 64bit and if u launch "system profiler" > extensions... u will see that most core drives are running in 64bit mode...

I forgot to comment. The external usb drive I am using is one of these:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=561 And so fare I have had some SUCESS!! now I get past all the text in chameleon boot but it hangs at the white screen before an apple icon comes up. So YES! Your scrip has made progress. 1 Question: I have the Snow Leopard dmg file on my desktop. Do I only drag it to source and the formatted Snow (thats what I call it) disk (External drive on destop) to destination and then restore. Do I still have to install Snow Leopard dmg over that once its been restored.....thats what I'm not clear on (sorry if you have explained it) Thanks

now it seems like a graphics detection problem... download & extract the attached natit.kext.zip and place the natit.kext file in ur usb drive's "/Extra/Extensions" and "/snow-installer/filez/extensions" i forgot to say this earlier... u should copy that nullcpupm kex to ur usb drive's "/snow-installer/filez/extra/extensions" as well so that it will get installed to ur ultimate SL target in the future... then reboot into the usb and see if that gives u graphics... and no there's no installing to the restored partition... only restoring the snow dvd is required... only installing is done to the ultimate target... i think u have done it right so far... lemme know how u get on with the natit.kext... PS: forgot to say... u need to edit both "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and "/snow-installer/filez/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" and change where it says "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" to "GraphicsEnabler=No" before rebooting into the installer after adding natit...

Ok thanks again! All installed, usb drive unplugged rebooted and had no dramas but I don't believe I have sound or correct batter/power modulation. The fan keeps sparking and things are getting hot. I installed the voodoo batter.dmg (which fixed this issue with Leo 10.5 and also gave me battery meter and icons). I will give these a go and see what happens.
I have not browsed too much but so far sound appears missing....all else is great. So what do we need now?

....Looks like our new Snow install didn't like the Voodoo.battery.dmg proggie. I used it on my previous install to fix the fan and heat issues. But when I installed it onto the new OS it brought up an error with its string name in boot before it hung on me. Oh, well, I will try the Snow inst again.

Oh, another thing mate....I dragged the kexts files voodoo.kext and powermanagement.kext over the Kext Helper v7. Now I have the battery meter but fan is still spiking and things are getting hot. Also the GFX card has defaulted to 1024/768 resolution rather than 1280x800 and only 1024 rez option in display menu. Is there any way to system restore or delete the kext files I just put in or is there a command at startup to set resolutions?
Thanks

there's two different battery solutions... try em one by one... not both at the same time... then for graphics, grab these x3100 files... extract them to ur desktop or somewhere... while in SL, first go to the folder /system/library/extensions and delete the original files there that has the same names as the ones from the x3100 package u've downloaded... once the originals are gone... copy-n-paste the downloaded ones to /s/l/e then open up terminal and run these commands:
u should now have working graphics...
