Not worth the hassle (it is not supported, low RAM, old GPU…) If you don't have Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 installed there go for it.

OS X uses up too much resources. you are short of RAM and also CPU and HDD not enough cache.

if you have a 10.4.11, that is perfect for your machine.

Yep. On that kind of Mac you definitely want Tiger over Leopard.

It is possible the OP needs Leopard on the older machine, to use it as a Time Machine backup on his/her LAN.

XpostFacto hasn't been updated with Leopard support, which makes the install harder. You could install Leopard to the HD while booting from a supported PPC Mac. Or manually run the install packages from the DVD in /Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/

Oh comon guys, a little experimentation never hurt anybody....

As long as you have open firmware (and you do) this should work. Not well, mind you, but it will install.
