I believe you meant "PPC machine" rather than "non PPC machine"
Same with Snow Leopard. Since it was compiled as an
intel stack it won't run on PPC. You can't hack that. You would
have to
write your own OS.
I think John was talking about downgrading an Intel Mac that
originally came with Leopard back to Tiger? The problem here is that
there is no "retail universal" Tiger Intel disc available, they were
all machine specific discs. Such a downgrade installation would
require changing the machine specific OSInstall.dist file in order to
install Tiger onto a newer Mac.
