I believe Leopard 10.5 is completely "universal", meaning Leopard should work on both Intel & PPC. One slight problem perhaps is that PPC HDs are normally formatted Apple Partition Scheme and Intel HDs are normally GUID. Normally you'd need to create a clone with the correct partition scheme. However, there is a way to make a single HD partition boot both Intel & PPC Macs.

Shouldn't be a problem in Leopard as long as the partition scheme is correct. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
