Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950


Look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:


MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD

MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update


The DVD should look like this

Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

If your Mac is a PowerMac, you can only go as high as OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Apple is now selling these again as replacement retail OS discs.

Call Apple direct at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for OS X software sales.

Tell them you need a copy of OS X 10.5 Leopard. You will need to give the Apple rep your Mac's serial number.

You will be charged less than $20 U.S. for these discs.

See these links for more info.
