[ale] [OT] Upgrade G4 Mini to OS X 10.5?

[Joe Knapka]

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