Leopard Install
Hello-
I have a Powerbook G-4 with 500mhz - 80GB and 1GB ram with a 10.3.9 o/s. I want to upgrade to Leopard - tried installing with original disc purchased from the apple store - however during install it rejects software, asking that I retry - after several attemps - I am stumped. I also tried installing a 10.1.4 disc with same results. BTW- I tried the using Disk Utliities without success. Please help! Thanks Dennis |

Leopard requires a minimum of a G4 processor running at 867 MHz: http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
So, to install Leopard on your 500 MHz G4 machine, you would have to fool the install program. There are directions for doing that on the net (Google Search). Trevor

Be prepared for very slow response. Leopard set that limit for a reason.
