What do I need to do to upgrade from 10.4.11 (Tiger) to Lion?

I know I need Snow Leopard, but can I update to Snow Leopard from Tiger now that the box set is no longer available?

Two questions about upgrading software...

I currently have Tiger 10.4.11 on my Mac Mini, my father just upgraded his mac's software from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and I was trying to find out if I can use his software (Snow Leopard) on my Mac since he is no longer using it? Also, can I upgrade straight from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6? Or do I need to purchase the software that goes in between those two operating systems? Thank You

Upgrade from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

I plan on purchasing the Snow Leopard online to upgrade from mac os x 10.4.11, what else do I need to make this work properly? Do I need to back up my files? Also, I am doing this in order to have boot camp assistant, will the online upgrade do even if I am planning on installing another OS in my laptop?

My wife's MacBook is running Tiger 10.4.11. As I understand it, I need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard. Disc drive doesn't work. How 2 upgrade?

I can purchase Snow Leopard from Apple, but can I install the OS by using a second MacBook's DVD drive using a firewire?

Owned a Mac for years: MAC OS X 10.4.11 / 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / Safari 4.1.3. No software updates available. What's best way to upgrade?

If it isn't already apparent, I'm also not very "computer literate". I've been told I need to bring the Mac into a store, but that's really not feasible. I know there have been several software tiers since my "ancient" form of Safari (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and now Lion). Had Firefox at one time, but can't seem to get it again (without updating the computer, which I have been unable to do as of yet).

Oh, don't know if it's important -- but "memory-wise" -- the computer has 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (not that I know what any of that means).


I honestly don't have a clue what to do -- and the fact that I'm considering both an iBook and an iPhone purchase in the near future only confuses me that much more. Any help would be appreciated so I can get the most out of my computer.
