Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.5 up tot 10.8

Hey Guys,

I am trying to install OSX Snow Leopard 10.5 up to 10.5.8 on an older Mac Mini G4 1.42GHz. I dont have a CD or anything that came with the Mac Mini, I got it in a job lot of stuff. I have looked all over the interwebs to find a .dmg/iso download for it and cannot find it anywhere.

Can anyone help me on this? I have previously purchased Mavericks I think or could of Been Snow Leopard I really don't know as it was a Macbook Pro 2010 that I had.

Kind Regards

Nicky

Mac mini, iOS 5

I need to do a fresh install on the Mac Mini, so need 10.5 or higher but not past 10.5.8 as it doesn't support any after that

Since you do not have a Leopard disk you will have to purchase a Leopard disk.

If you call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE you might be able to purchase a retail disk from Apple. Otherwise you will have purchase from a place like Amazon.

Make sure you get a retail disk, not a disk that come with another Mac since those will only install on the Mac then came with. Those disk are gray.
