I have a PowerMac G4 and running OS X 10.3.9. How can I upgrade if I have the 4 disk upgrade version of OS X 10.4? To be clearer, I have 4 separate dmg's (install disk 1, disk 2, etc.) Your directions worked for disk 1 (installed from a separate internal hardrive) but when that was done, it asked for disk 2. Evenntually I had to reinstall the original OS X 10.2 that shipped with the G4. Is it even possible to install from 4 separate dmg's??? Thanks!!! Hi SaucE and all others,

I'm on an imac The only thing that was different was that when I was prompted to select where I wanted Leopard to be installed my HD wasn't present, so I exited and restarted and it then appeared the second time. Many thanks! I followed the instructions - best not to rush - and it went smoothly! I’m on an imac

If you are installing from an external hard drive, be sure to use firewire or USB as e-Sata doesn't work, at least it wouldn't for me. Just one small point that I wanted to add.
