I've done it a few times.

I have heard of this "double install method."

Just so I am clear. I use the upgrade media to do a fresh (custom) install, and leave the key blank, and then do an "Upgrade" on top and still use the same Upgrade Key?

I understand the method, but what media and what key to use when is when it gets muddy for me.
