HI Suzanna, > ...OR is there a way to install Leopard on it too, using a method > other than a disc install? Maybe thru firewire somehow???? If you have an external USB or Firewire hard drive, you can ghost your drive on the Powerbook using Carbon Copy Cloner (free). Then follow Jake's procedure and do a clean install. Then connect the drive again to the Powerbook, boot the machine and use the new- machine setup wizard to copy all the settings and applications from the clone drive back to the Powerbook. I'm going to have to do this with my MacBook to try to fix a Java problem in FireFox that has not been corrected by any other means. In my case, I'm probably going to just reinstall Tiger, but the process should be the same. I'll probably wait a while before I upgrade the OS.
