Mac OS X Leopard Install DVDVersion 10.5.42Z691-6232-A. If anyone has trouble getting this burned disc to be seen during the initial disc boot phase, I've found the G4/G5 factory optical drives are pretty terrible at reading burned DVDs. Thank you for responding. Snow leopard is available but unfortunately my MacBook Pro is not compatible with it. It is my understanding Leopard 10.5.8 OS is the last OS on pre Intel macs. So, that’s probably why the snow leopard doesn’t work.

1 - i could not make a windows-keyboard work... in particular, my imac (g5) would 'ask' about it when powering up by having me press the key 'just inside of shift key' on each side... thus, i was never able to make the keyboard-combo work correctly... if you cannot get into open-firmware, then try getting a normal MAC-keyboard...
2 - i was having all sorts of problems trying to get the correct device to use for the 'dir' command... i could see the tree of information, but could never make a working 'devalias' for myself... two clues:
3 - i was finally able to get things working better by doing/trying the following (details removed for hopeful-clarity):

4 - once i got my magic incantation correct, it took prolly an hour to get thru the first-boot - but eventually i got the great happy-mac sound from the other room... hopefully you will be able to too... :)
