[Cube] Leopard Install

[Rob In der Maur]

I had no problem at all installing Leopard on my Cube with a Sonnet  
1.2 Ghz upgrade. There was no indication during the complete install  
through warning dialogs or else that my configuration was not going  
to work with Leopard. Whether it is officially supported is a totally  
different question though.

cheers,
Rob
