I have a MBP mid-2009 and I'm running Snow Leopard on 500gb HDD (original mac HDD died).
I'm thinkng about getting a 240Gb SSD and doing a fresh Lion install.
What are the correct steps to get it going? Note that I don't need to move my old data and would prefer a "clean" Lion and not an upgrade.

Make a backup to an external drive and burn Your Own OS X Lion Install DVD or USB Drive while running Snow Leopard. Change the HDDs and install from the USB. You can get an external case for the old HDD just to have access to your data.
