Hi, I've followed this guide for installing Mac OS X which is very detailed but I keep getting a kernel panic.

The most persistant flaw I had was that the system kept freezing. I found that in the Power Management/Energy Saving Settings, the Hard Drive was set to go to sleep. With the configuration of my laptop, the Hard Drive would not wake up again without rebooting. To fix this, I changed the setting that tells the system to sleep the HD. The hard drive now stays on permenantly, but at least it doesn't freeze.

Screensavers and putting the screen to sleep doesn't seem to work. To avoid Burn-in, I recommend shutting down the system when it's not in use. I consistently get the bootup error message that Hibernate Fails and something else has garbage.

I will try turning the hard drive to sleep OFF. Thanks.

For the hibernate fail and garbage error, try thee following commands
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
$ sudo rm -rf /var/vm/sleepimage
$ sudo rm -rf /private/var/vm/sleepimage

It's been a very long time since I had OS X installed on my D600. At this point in time, I'd recommend against trying to install it. A lot of applications are transitioning to the Mac App Store, which is unavailable in versions prior to 10.6.8. That makes using Leopard even more of a pain to use on the D600.

If you want a modern OS to run on your D600, I would highly recommend CrunchBang Linux, a Debian-based Linux distro that uses the Openbox WM. It runs very speedily, uses little RAM, and has full hardware support for the D600 out-of-the-box. Better yet, it has a very active support community, and the developer, Philip Newborough, aka corenomial, is quite responsive to community requests.

I'm not worried about apps I'm just doing it cause it interests me and if I do it's just for light Internet stuff

Seriously, do not run OS X Leopard. Chrome and Firefox are no longer supported on Leopard. It doesn't receive security updates from Apple any longer, and Leopard on the D600 was always more of an experimental thing than something that could be used daily.
