Download the boot132 iso from the Dell Mini site http://mydellmini.com/forum/howto-install-os-x-on-the-mini9-boot132-official-thread-t1106.html Burn to CD, boot from external CD, then plug in the Leopard DVD that you bought to do this legally. Install as normal, then reboot (put back the boot132 cd to boot) on reboot choose the hdd then type -f Finish the install, then install 10.5.6 if your DVD isn't a recent one, then install the drivers from the boot132 cd. Takes about 30 minutes, and is really really easy. Strangely enough (unless you are just reading all my posts on twitter and shexpat) I’ve built one of these already.
