[Cube] question RE: Leopard Install

[Bill Fox]

Tried it both ways-no joy. Get the message that "Install Failed--The  
Installer could not validate the contents of the 'BaseSystem'  
package." on the upgraded 1.4GHz Cube and a can't install on your Mac  
error message for the stock 450MHz Cube.

Someone will have to figure out a hack. Going to try again by  
installing Leopard on an external FW drive attached to my CPU-upgraded  
12" PowerBook G4 (originally 867MHz now 1.4GHz) then booting the Cubes  
with it. If it boots then I'll clone the external to the internal and  
try again.

Results of the latter to come, stay tuned....
