Jim Thanks. I had forgotten that.
Depending on which model she has will depend on her option for booting to 10.4 There is a 20" 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo model from 2007 that originally came with 10.4 and was later shipped with 10.5 - so therefore this model will be able to boot to an 10.4 installation on an external drive. There is also a 20" 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo from 2008, this only came with 10.5 and therefore your comment is correct.
