I very much doubt they support 10.4's iLife release on 10.6, but it may 
well work. Check with Google and then give it a try! Assuming you have a 
Time Machine backup of the system before you start trying that, you can 
always back off to the previous state.

Repartitioning in Disk Utility (which you can run from the installation 
media) is all that's required. Unlike with Windows, there's no need to 
zero out the partition table explicitly, just repartitioning the disk to 
a "1 Partition" layout is sufficient.
