Will I need to have Leopard installed on my Mac before I install Snow Leopard?

I want to clean up my hard drive before I install Snow Leopard, but my Mac is a 1st Gen Intel that came with Tiger. Will I need to have to reboot my computer to Tiger first before I upgrade to Snow Leopard, or can I just reboot right now (Leopard) to Snow Leopard?

    Not sure if I understand ... are you asking if you can install Snow Leopard on top of Leopard? The answer is YES. In fact, the $30 upgrade price is only for computers running Leopard. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version for $150 or so.

    once you're updating from Leopard, no, it is not mandatory, yet cautioned. the suited thank you to place in any Mac OS is to wipe the no longer easycontinual sparkling and do a sparkling deploy, that way you will no longer have any conflicting subjects. in case you have an externalcontinual or Time device Snow Leopard can pull your backed up documents from it suited after the deploy.
