My method (and I will freely admit this was not my original idea) is to use a disk image of a 10.6.8 working HD that has not yet been through the personalization. Like the original poster, I've found a number of machines that require a Snow Leopard installer higher than what may be available (since the owners of those machines have invariably lost their discs and/or have bricked their optical drives). You can boot any ready for Snow Leopard Mac with this Installer. I had problems getting the Backup utility in Disk Utility to do this. When the Disk Utility is done, use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the modified 10.6.7 Installer to the 8 gig keychain drive. Choose the GUID partition choice and close the window. Now click Partition, chose 1 Partition, give it a name and click the Options button. Find the drive on the left side of the Disk Utility window and click on it.
