[G4] upgrade to Leopard

[Harry A. Freeman]

If your interested in installing Leopard on a Quicksilver 800, there  
are ways around the installation disks requirement for a processor of  
at least 877Mhz.

If you decide to install Leopard you will need a copy of the retail  
Leopard install DVD, when you've accured this disk post that you have  
and someone will give you the information that is needed.

Cheers
