Dumb question --- I want to upgrade my old PowerBook G4 when I fix the Hard Drive, but it's been running 10.3 since 2004...

No you don't. There's actually no such thing as a Leopard upgrade DVD. They are all full versions. (Ultimate versions too ) I'd do an archive and install though.

Sounds groovy.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean "fix my hard drive"... I meant replace my hard drive.

uuummm........technically, there ARE upgrade disks, but only the ones they throw in the box if you bought a new mac in the past 2 weeks or so after 10.5's release, or until the machines start shipping with it pre-installed from the factory, which hopefully wont be long

But OTOH, ALL the RETAIL disk are full versions, that do NOT require any previous version of OS X to be present already and will install on any supported machine.......
Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)
