Hey forum, I was wondering if you can upgrade straight into Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leapard) from Mac OS 9.x.x? I have an iBook G4, Mac OS 9.0.x, 768MB RAM 1.22GHz PowerPC 40GB HDD with DVD-ROM early 2004 snow white edition. I want to know because if I can i'd be alot easier than going from OS to OS. You know? I have all the versions if I can't go for a straight shot but please! Feel free to comment! Thnx! đ

While it's possible to upgrade directly, no iBook is capable of booting both versions; only the G3s can boot any version of Mac OS 9, and all of those are incapable of running Mac OS X 10.5.

Okay, so answer me this... Can I wipe the iBook G4 OS? Reason being, it has Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leapard) but wont get past the blue screen right before it shows a window saying: Starting Mac OS X and the loader underneath. but it's stuck in boot at a blue screen right before that. So, is there a system image file messed up? I was kinda screwing around with the Core System files exactly before this started. Thnx!
Yes, you can.

After restarting from the DVD, either use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive or specify an Erase & Install when choosing the installation type.
