Macbook and leopard ilife

I believe that your TIger disks that came with your macbook contain the old iLife suite. Once you install Leopard, you should be able to insert the TIger disk that contains the "other software" and install iLife. Before you go forward, insert the Tiger disk to make sure it is there, then move on. I installed Leopard on 4 Macs yesterday, including my year old MacBook. I used Archive/Install on all machines and it worked flawlessly (I tried the "upgrade" first on the macbook that failed, so I went to archive/install).

Best of luck...

Facing the same challenge. But I am still not sure that my MacBook, which is MA701 with MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857 can read DL media. I have heard Leopard is delivered only on a DL media.

Follow these instruction while running Leopard. Put in your 1st MacBook install disk. Wait for the pop up window. Choose install bundled software only, ignore the pretty pictures and choose continue, pick the drive you wish to install on, click continue, This next window is the important one. Choose custom to the left bottom side. This will bring up all the software in the bundle. Uncheck what you don't want to install and check what you do then push continue. If you don't choose this it will install everything in the bundle including the demo software.

Mine has the same drive and it reads DL disks.
