OSX Leopard Vanilla Install

[mackrick]

My first post as a newbie and I need advice please.

I have spent ages reading various threads on how to install from the Retail Leopard DVD and am totally lost !

I have the following

Gigabyte GA-85648FX MBO with SIS chipset

Intel P4 2.8 GHZ CPU

1 GB ram

A single IDE HD and DVD drive.

 

I have tried using the Boot 132 method and failed completely after trying various downloads from this site.

 

Once booted from the Boot 132 disk and using the rd(0,1)/mach_kernel.modbin -legacy -v rd=diskxsy

I have been unable to work out the X and Y (Drive / Partition) numbers.

I have tried various combinations and all I ever end up with is the white/grey screen with the apple logo.

 

Can anyone please advise me on the best way to proceed now.

 

Many thanks
