Thanks for you honesty. I like you am searching for the holy grail , to get a 10.5.8 working on a compaq presario 1525 laptop .
(my specs are close to yours generically)could only get IPC 10.5.6 to work and every thing  does except pcmia card bus.can live with this but it seems that 10.5.8 is the intro.  to 10.6.8 to 10.7.2 ect. and it seems that the iDeneb Combo 10.5.8 with update tools might be the way to go ( Currently running  Linux Mint , Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 CP, Chrome OS  on this Laptop and getting a useful Mac OS X is bye far the hardest! ,) Also doing this for my sons benefit (Ha! Ha! ) and mine to. Best of luck on your project!!!
