Leopard family pack

Question

Leopard family pack

I have a G4 Dual processor and an Intel MacBook Pro, can I buy Leopard and install it on both computers or do I need to buy a family pack? Can I burn a copy of the DVD so I can take it with me when I travel in case of an emergency?

Macbook Pro & G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

A single license is good for One computer..

You would need the family pack which is good up to 5 computers.

Yes, you can burn a copy and take it with you...

Thanks for this info-- but HOW to burn a copy of the DVD (for emergency start-up when traveling)? It is a 7.5 gb DVD - and my MacBook can only burn single-sided DVD's to 4.7 gb capacity.

Once I had a good reference about different DVD formats-- single side; double-side; high-density etc. but I've lost that article...

Any comments appreciated-- especially how to burn a DVD for Leopard with my existing MacBook (May 2006) core duo. (Seems I may need a new burner / external DVD burner??)

You could buy two single ones, one for each computer, and then you could take one with you and leave the other at home for safety. This would be cheaper than buying a burner (though more expensive than buying the family pack if you didn't buy a burner).
