That depends on what you customized them with....and if your selling the PB, why aren't you formatting it and clean installing X?

right, when you sell a computer, you should always wipe the drive, by doing a reinstall of the OS and leaving it with the default software.

Okay folks, like I should have to explain myself, I just wanted the default icons. What happend to my OS X discs? well they're in a box in Japan at some random folks house who I have to contact info for, and no I am not going to buy a new OS just to install it on the computer and sell it.

You don't have to buy it, you already own the license so it is possible to download the install disk.
I don't know if a linux install disk is able to format the drive, but that coudl also be an option, you can download a linux disk from linuxiso.org
