Greetings, I've never tried this, but I would think that once you have installed Leopard that you can just shut down the platform and when it is restarted it will return to the same screen where it was when shut down.
You may not get a shutdown button, just do a force shutdown with the power key. You may want to try shutting down and restarting once before handing the box back to you friend. However be sure to instruct them to read each of the screens before they proceed to the next one. As some of the information that is inputted can not be changed later, or requires a lot of UNIX experience to change. One item that CAN NOT be changed easily is the Platform Owners Name, the Short Name, it's just easer to reload the OS if you make a mistake and/or want to make a change than to try changing those items.
