tortorici Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 So, i've got an old iMac G5 running 10.3.9 with a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM. I also have a copy of the leopard install CD laying around. If i wipe the hard disc and format it with my MBP, can i install leopard on it?

Marclh Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 You may be able to install it right onto the iMac G5 without using the MBP, but I'm pretty sure the computer meets the minimum requirements for Leopard.

Would i just put in the CD and restart the computer, and as it starts up hold down "C"?
