Download Old Version of Firefox for Mac for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (PowerPC) Skip Development Versions tead. Incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager. I should note that G3s and G5s are very hit or miss. I also found this page that I quite liked: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2336384. Companies such as Dell and HP attempt to steal the design that makes the MacBook Pro what it is. People look at the Mac mini as a excellent home computer or to make a super cool TV Media Center Setup, or even go to the extreme and use one as a server for 30+ iMacs! All of these design terms were the same during the PowerPC era of time! Regarding the version, any OSX 10.4 will work on any Powerbook G4 except for the Powerbook G4 (Dual Layer SD) which requires 10.4.2. Accoding to your post stating model A1010 or A1104, you will have no problem wiht any 10.4 disc, as long as it's not a disc form another mac (the gray discs).

Is there a 'hack' to make MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' run on unsupported Power Mac G4 models?
Apple reports that MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' requires a Mac with an 867 MHz PowerPC G4 (or faster) processor, 512 MB of RAM, 9 GB of available hard drive space, and a DVD drive.

Consequently, Apple officially supports MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' on the following Power Mac G4 models:
For the Maximum Supported version of MacOS X on all G3 and later Macs, please refer to the 'By Capability' listings.
GenThree (now offline) created an application called LeopardAssist that provides a GUI to essentially 'trick' the MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' installer DVD to think that any AGP-based Power Mac G4 model has an 867 MHz processor prior to installation and then switch it back to the actual speed afterwards.
Please note that this application is no longer officially supported by the developer, but readers have noted that it makes the process quick and easy.
The superb OSNewsreported that using LeopardAssist, it took merely 'a few clicks' to install Leopard on a dual 450 MHz-equipped Power Mac G4 upgraded with 1 GB of RAM and a Quartz Extreme capable video card -- which is required for Core Animation and Time Machine -- and it seemed 'to run a little faster than Tiger'.
Keep in mind that MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' does not support the MacOS 9 'Classic Environment' even when running on systems that support 'Classic' when booting MacOS X 10.4 'Tiger'. This may be a major disadvantage for some users.
Your results may vary -- this is a 'hack' after all -- and it is not supported by Apple and consequently cannot be recommended by EveryMac.com. However, for machines that are not 'mission critical', particularly ones that are near the 867 MHz cutoff point -- such as the Power Mac G4 733 (Quicksilver), 800 DP (Quicksilver), and 800 (QS 2002) -- and ones that have been upgraded with faster processors, more RAM, and Quartz Extreme capable video cards, you may find that these 'unsupported' Macs provide more than acceptable performance running MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard'.

I much prefer this previous hint - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071026083746346 - and I say that because I actually used it and it worked really well.

10.5: Install 10.5 on an unsupported PowerPC iMac
Update:- As I stated above, replacing the graphics drivers with the drivers from 10.4 does fix the sleep issue. Unfortunately I have found some applications such as toast will not run, my guess is that quartz extreme is disabled with the 10.4 drivers. I have read reports of supported GeForce cards having similar issues, my recommendation would be disable sleep in System Preferences and hope that 10.5.2 fixes the issue.
The firmware install method above works fine (it is a temporary modification that is reset when the machine is rebooted), just remember to disable sleep or when the machine awakes the video will be unreadable and you will have to use the power switch to reboot.

Whilst the install works with older video drivers, and it fixes the sleep problem, this hack introduces another problem: iSight cameras no longer work. Anyone with a solution?
