Any of you old Mac guys have a retail version of OS X 10.5 OS install DVD, laying around gathering dust?
Friend has given me their old 20" PPC iMac with OS 10.4.11 installed. I'd like to upgrade it to 10.5.8 max. Talked to Apple, visited their store, searched online (yes, they're somewhat available for $$$$). Apple still posts updates to 10.5 on their servers, but not the install package.
I have a "grey" 10.5.6 install disc for a 17" PPC iMac, but the larger 20" won't accept it. Perhaps there's a way to hack the installer?
While mousing around on a new iMac in their store, I learned that the current generation isn't upgradeable by the user at all! Ram is soldered in! They've 'elevated' above modular construction, I was told. (really???)
I wonder how many of their customers know this? Everything's baked together at the mother ship and it will remain so.
