Grey instal disks

[QuadSix50]

Hmm, I've just realised something. Is this a Leopard install disk or a Tiger one?
My (Aluminium) iMac came with Tiger disks, and they have "iMac" printed on them. If the newer disks have "For Mac Computers" printed on them, it makes me wonder whether for Leopard Apple have decided to just have one set of install disks that work for all their machines, rather than having specific ones for each machine. "For Mac Computers" seems awfully ambiguous if it's just for one specific machine...

Hmm...

You might have hit the nail on the head, Tom.

I'm guessing thats it. I should try and get this to boot on my dual g4, just do the firmware hack and try it.

It might be interesting to compare the checksum of the disk with someone else who has a different machine that shipped with Leopard (it would have to be the same version, i.e. 10.5.2, etc). You can do it by selecting the disk in Disk Utility and going to the "Images" menu, "Checksum" and then "CRC-32 image checksum...". It will take a while to read the whole disk and generate the checksum. Post the results here and hopefully someone else will do the same from another grey Leopard disk [] ]'>
