Gentlemen,

Since I had a strange problem with my Mac Mini and decided to install a new HD - bigger of course - I think now I can use the advantages of Boot Camp. But I own only the classic Leopard original DVD and I don't plan to buy the Snow Leopard one so soon.

Also, I am aware that Apple removed the Boot Camp download from their websites, but anyway I wonder, am I on a dead end?
If I manage to find the old Boot Camp downloads (somewhere on the web, or even from friends) what was the last version released?
Should I take some special care on this matter?

Ah, and...
Does the new Boot Camp from Snow Leopard work on the Classic Leopard set up?

Any advices?
Thank you so much for your attention!
Best regards,
Cospefogo.

Boot Camp should be already installed in your Utilities folder. No need to download it since it was part of Leopard.

Oh, really?
I did not know that.

At the moment I am writing from my G5 PPC iMac (because
of course - the Mac mini is dead on the other table). So it will
be simplier as I thought. On my APPS/UTILITIES folder I can't
see any bootcamp - but I bet it is because my processor.
Of course the installer has skipped Boot Camp on my G5 iMac.

So, I will replace the HD this afternoon and then just setup everything
again. Unfortunately I need windows sometimes to open old Corel Draw
files and some gaming abandonware.

Cheers, mate!
Thanks for your tip!

Best regards,
Cospefogo.
