Eric, Second Mike's info. I had to do this same thing about a year ago for my wife's Powerbook G4. I've been around computers for almost 30-years now & worked in the field. So, I'm pretty good @ researching & solving a tech problem. I chased my tail for about 2 weeks, before I found out that, no matter what you find on the web, it can't be done on that platform.
So, in the end, I went to Walmart, spent $59 on a G Tech fire wire external drive, partitioned the drive & put Leopard on the thing. Then I fired it up & it installed without a hitch. Believe me, it can't be done. Hope this helps, CJ On Jun 6, 2013, at 9:44 AM, eric oyen <[email protected]> wrote: > hello guys, > > I m working on a friends mac mini G4 (yeah I know, its old), and I need to > install OS X 10.5 on it from a USB stic.
