Clean install question

[mopsta]

I'm working as a TA and have been asked to install MOPS as one of my duties
in addition to grading. I've worked with MOPS for about a year, but I
haven't had to do an install nor an upgrade yet....lucky me I guess.

I'm planning on doing a clean install of MOPS07.
I have SQL Server 2005 and 2008 available.
I have MOPS07.
I have the MOPS07 sp1 downloaded.
but, no MOSS.

All the documentation I've read says that I need MOPS07 with SP1 to use
SS2008. But, part of the MOPS install involves creating databases. Will I run
into trouble by installing MOPS07 with SS08, configure the PWA, then do an
upgrade to MOPS07 SP1?

Otherwise I plan on installing MOPS07 with SS05. Upgrading to SP1. Then
upgrading to 2008.

What do you think?

Thanks for your help,
Theo

is there a place to download "MOPS 2007 with SP1" so I don't have to do an
upgrade?

no but you could very slipstream one package, check this post applicable to
SharePoint but valid for Project Server:

SQL Server 2008 is supported and the installation procedure is documented in
TechNet.
