What you need:
DMG of Leopard
Extra partition or external drive to install to.
  • Mount the image:
  • On mounted install DVD image:
  • System>Installation>Packages>OSInstall.mpkg
  • Run this app
  • Install to new partition or external drive
  • you know the rest.
Oh yeah, you still have to set it as the Startup Disk or choose during startup to boot into Leopard. But you knew that!

*****UPDATE*****
When the BSD Subsystem Installer stalls, go to Terminal, type: sudo killall temacs



peace in the middle crease.

Works on Dual 1.8 G5 running 10.4.7
I would suspect it works on Intel Macs.
