Hi again, Oh, and to add to that. Perhaps the Mac APp Store, as that is due to arrive soon, apparently. That might actually be a convenient method, given that I believe the Mac App Store will actually be imbedded into Mac OS X 10.7, possibly allowing you to authorize the installation within the setup wizard. Of course, the ability to grab the file and put it somewhere, then allowing it to become bootable would be necessary after that, but I don't see why not.
Yes, I know this is just speculative thinking. But I guess anything is possible right now. You never know! I'd certainly like not to have boxes lying around with my installation DVDs, and at least, that way I don't have to worry about losing them not that I'm going to. As for running Bootcamp, do be aware if you are going to be using 64-bit and the Bootcamp on your Snow Leopard DVD. The DVD will actually claim it will not work, but it will if you use CMD on Windows. I do not know if you can grab the Bootcamp 3.1 of Apple's website, then apply it directly without possessing 3.0. I seem to get a crash every time I just install 3.1 updating from 3.0 though, oddly enough. Of course, the fact I forced my way passed Apple's 64-bit lockdown may have something to do with it, but otherwise, it works fine.
