You don't need a guide at all. In fact all you need to do is insert the DVD and either restart the machine and hold down the letter c until you hear the DVD begin being accessed by the Mac, insert the DVD, open System Preferences, select startup disk, and choose the Snow Leopard DVD, select restart, confirm you want to restart by selecting restart, and wait for the chime, and as with my previous steps, you wait for the DVD to stop spinning, you press command-f5 to launch VoiceOver. You also have the option to launch the installer on the DVD, which will basically perform the same steps as I explained and will reboot the machine for you. Basically once the DVD has stopped spinning, you can press command-f5 or function-command-f5 for laptops, and VO will launch. If any of my steps are confusing or you have questions, please let me know. However, once VO is up and running, you'll have no problems at all installing/upgrading the os.
