1. Yes.
2. Buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay. Additional steps are needed if the computer's CPU is slower than 867MHz.

Thanks Niel, I should've mentioned that my CD drive doesn't appear to work anymore, so I would have to do it via USB or online?

You need to do it with an external FireWire drive.

Agee with Niel--USB is out.

Do you have any other Macs with FireWire ports? There is a way to use another Mac like an external Fireawire drive.

There are no downloadble installer packages for 10.5. If you see one offered, run away! It is pirated and likely tainted with malware.
