Certain primary sources for correct dmg iso images were

intended for Apple Developers, with ADC license to use.

Others may still find actual old original disc media; some grey-label

& other useful Mac OS discs w/ retail-label for wider vintage usage.

(The following two disk images are the complete installer DVD in DMG

format. The downloads come directly from Apple, and require an ADC login

to access.) - untested waters and without Apple Developer code:

• Download Mac OS X 10.6 10a432 DVD image (direct link from Apple)
• Download Mac OS X 10.5 9a581 DVD image (direct link from Apple)

[Have not checked these for validity; or yet to see if they're really OK]

• The Vintage Software Collection [Apple] : Free Software + Download [etc] | Internet Archive

https://archive.org/details/vintagesoftware?&and[]=creator%3A%22apple%22

several links in these seem to work; worth exploring:

https://vintagemacmuseum.com/resources/mac-software/

Some are more sketchy than others; most are failed archives. An OK read-through.

https://osxdaily.com/2018/06/23/where-to-download-old-mac-os-software-from/

A few leads may be online; while their links no longer pull up anything useful.

https://lowendmac.com has archive; some failed, some OK. (amid certificate issues)

Well, as time and disinterest pervades, these are rare; but not necessarily valuable

to anyone but a collector or advanced hobbyist who likes to fix vintage Macs.

Some of those G5 Towers are harder to get; while the hardware often still

works, software is yet another layer of mixed troubles to wade through.

Had set out to do something else; this is where I ended up @ 3AM!

Good luck & happy computing!🌤🌿❄️☃️

Glad to be of some help. Had a few other items you

may be interested in for research-sake with PM G5.

Some manuals on lower part of this page may be

worthwhile; a few of them (in PDF?) are G5 guides.

..Also not sure if you're familiar with "liquid-cooled"

PM G5 2004/05 these, different than air-cooled ones.

Perhaps there needs to be some organizing in old browser links, to find

more content? Of these, some were migrated from PowerPC G3/G4 Mac

into early Firefox from Safari; into some bootable clones, etc. ~ & more?

Oh, got to thinking (again) and recollect those PM G5, and later G4 Towers

had some odd software; very specific to their build model years. A topic to

research further (how/run classic OS9?) as well. Started a this search thread:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mac+OS+X+PowerMac+G5+specific+installer+discs&t=ffab&ia=web

Anyway this kinda looks like a 'blogger's outpost' here.

We can't have that!
