I restore the install disk from an ISO (the ideneb 105.6 ISO) and run the OSx86 tools hack the site refered to but got nowhere - I get a black screen that says "Boot: MBR" "Boot:done"

for creating a bootable usb disk: do you want to install a running system on this drive or put the install dvd on usb?
a) for the first just pop the dvd in, start install process and choose a partition on the external usb disk (even a big usb stick would do) to install on.
b) to get a install dvd on a usb stick, convert the iso file to dmg (you need osx for that), check it and restore it to the usb memory / disk. only thing lacking is a bootloader, hence install efi or chameleon on that external partition.

for updating to 10.5.7: i got my 10.5.5 lawless to 10.5.7 by using the amdupdate utility by zeph for creating a patched update pack. and i use a voodoo kernel, of course. hope this helps
