Hi Walter, If you have the full retail version of Leopard, then you should be able to boot from the install disk and do the erase and install. BUT many of the G4 iMacs (eg mine!) are not supported for Leopard (processor too slow) - in which case you will not be able to install from the Leopard

Hi Walter, Technically, you should be able to install Leopard on the late model 1.25GHz G4 iMac. License-wise, unless you got the family pack, you are only licensed to install it on one machine (either the G4 or the intel but not both). As far as I know, Apple doesn't have any active software
