you should state this is for PPC macs. I was overjoyed when I first found out
not seeing this stated anywhere, unless im blind,I tried it on a free partition.didnt work
I bought a Leopard1 0.5 disc for my iMac thinking I was getting a deal
But when it came to installing, I was stopped dead at the 'proceed in this language' screen
Well, my iMac can accept a retail Leopard but not the machine specific iMac installer (grey disc)
Mine is 667 mhz-the discs minimum is 767.
Well after tons of dead ends and fooling around, I finally was able to make a boot disc that ignored
BOTH the 767 requirement, and the <imac5,1/3/4/5> series #, so the machine didnt care.
Mine is model iMac5,1, it all installed fine including the iLife '08
It worked fine
But when a chance to buy a retail 10.5.4 disc came at a good price, I jumped: I figured many of the early bugs must have been worked out to integrate it all into this seemless install, that even a combo update cant address.
Dont suppose youll ever make one for just this sort of thing for Intel

Had an old G4 power mac sat gathering dust in the office, found a leopard install disc knocking around, ran this doozy and bingo ! The 2002 G4 now runs leopard 10.5.5 with no fuss, updated the RAM to 1.5 GB just to make things slicker, the machine now has quicklook, stacks and all the other handy bits and bobs on a (what we thought) was an obsolete Mac, thanks to this software, its been resurrected into a fully fledged OSX 10.5 bad boy !
I fully recommend this to any G4 and older G5 users !
