Jun 8, 2012 9:50 AM in response to Jess'xoby Niel,If you're using a G3, no. If you're using a G4 or better, purchase and install a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD; places such as Amazon may sell these.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Amazon. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A , MC094Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A , MC095Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
Be warned - the prices are high. The original price from Apple was $130, vendors on Amazon etc seem to start around $140 and head skywards.
