You shouldn't need a PPC specific DVD. The install version of Leopard I have worked fine on my G5 tower (as well as my intel MBP). I'd suggest finding someone who has a copy of the DVDs as opposed to torrenting, but I'm a little paranoid about foreign install media.<br>

Hmm, OK. But it no longer appears possible to obtain official Leopard<br>
PPC DVDs from Apple. I'm having trouble finding a usable 10.5 PPC<br>
installation DVD. There are many dozens of torrents out there that<br>
sort of look right, but the one I actually downloaded so far was not<br>
bootable.<br>
