Riley Freeman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Neither of those are "retail" Leopards. If it's specific to a mac model (as those are) they can't be used for boot-132 discs etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132270-which-retail-copy-imac-or-macbook/#findComment-937862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Dman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think that you need Leopard retail DVD *only* not iMac or MacBook one because this won't be installed on their macs. if you tried this on PC you'll get a message saying that you cannot install on this mac as I remember the message.
