G4 400 is too slow for 10.5.8 I have 3 G4 cubes with 10.4.11 they work great but Leopard really doesn't like them IMHO. The only way you can get Leopard on it is CCC real slow about 4 hours easy PITA. Unless you have a program that
 absolutly has to have 10.5 stick to Tiger

You could also use a comp that mets the 876MHz rule to install onto the 400MHz Mac by either pulling the hard drive or booting the 400MHz into firewire target disc mode, plugging it into the 876MHz Mac with a firewire cable, then booting the leo installer on the 876MHz MAc and installing onto the firewire 'hard drive' (the other Mac.) This also works for installing Tiger onto a non-DVD equipped system without the CD set.
