Mac OS X Install Disc: 2Z691-6040-A

Hi-
I'm planning to upgrade my mini from OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.5.x (Leopard) using Apple's:'Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 CPU Drop-in DVD: 2Z691-6040-A',which is compatible with my system a late 2006 Mac Mini 166GHz Core Duo. Prior to attempting the Leopard installation, I will do a complete system back-up of my Tiger software. Are there any problems that I should be aware of when using the Drop-in DVD? Thanks for your help.

Mac Mini Core Duo; 1.66GHz;1GB; 60GB IHD; 560GB EHDs; Dell 1707FP, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

The 2006 Mac Mini was discontinued August 7, 2007.
The DropIn disc was only available for Macs released after October 1, 2007.
Thus it may not be properly licensed for that Mac Mini.
Get the retail 10.5 installer which looks like User uploaded file*

and does not say DropIn, OEM, or Update on it to be on the safe side.
