I downloaded my Install DVD from here: (DVD%20DL).iso, and I can confirm that it has the proper partition maps and should be bootable. I've downloaded and burned quite a few CDs and DVDs in the past from MG and other sites without checking this, which means the discs were wasted, they can't be booted from. Notice how there are 3 "partitions" before the main install disk, this means the entire install DVD was imaged, and not just the last partition.

it should look like this: /dev/disk4 (disk image):ģ: Apple_HFS Mac OS X Install DVD 7.6 GB disk4s3 One of the disks should have a partition labeled " Mac OS X Install DVD". I'm not sure if the ones from MG are properly imaged (and I'm not going to download 8GB to find out), but after you download it, lock it via finder, then mount it, then launch Terminal and type "diskutil list". If you are going to try to boot from a DVD or USB, you'll need to make sure the disk image has the proper partition map. Alternatively, I wonder if you could just restore the disk image to a USB, boot into 10.3 on the G5, and start the installer directly? (therefore bypassing the need to boot from it?) Executed at startup, this script will temporarily force the system to. It achieves this by temporarily writing a script into the NVRAM of your G4-based Mac. You'll need a DVD-DL to burn them though. LeopardAssist can help in the process of installing OS X 10.5 Leopard on machines that did not meet the minimum system requirement of an 867MHz or faster processor. The universal Leopard images are on this page: I’m stuck with 10.3 until I can get this sorted and 10.3 is just too old to support web browsing now

Has anyone got any idea how to get 10.5 on the G5 :(
I originally tried to install via USB using the flash driver and a DMG. A 2008 white MacBook that can run leopard (intel core 2 duo) Ok so I’ve got a question about trying to install OS X 10.5 on an iMac G5
