Correct and you cannot always install 10.5 on PPC even though others
say they have. It depends on the hardware. I believe that the EFI is
checked (or some such hardware setting - CPU?) as my own sister found
out on her mac mini (first gen) the DVD I had for 10.5 said that the
hardware was incompatible with the 10.5 installation. Even though we
had gotten the DVD from a neighbour who had it running fine on a later
gen mac mini with PPC.
Good old Apple ;)
