hahaha the "legit" part isn't what i'm worried about… I just have a proper copy i wanna modify and yeah break as many laws as possible without getting in trouble haha.
i just want leopard on my pc without waiting 3 days for it to download … thats NZ internet for you… if someone can make me a patch to use on it i'm willing and (bearly but) able to pay $100 for your efforts

You need zephyroth Rev1. or Rev.2 to install Leopard on your System.
If you want to patch and use your retail DVD, you basically have to do kind of a job like zephyroth did with this release.
yeah, its not gonna be legit anyways, once you patch it
Here's a guide (forum.osx86 scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2135) on how to make your store bought Leopard DVD into a Hackintosh friendly DVD.
The only thing you'll be missing are the hacked kexts that are in Zephyroth's releases. But, this should get you on the right track. Also, I don't think you need tiger already installed on your PC but you should own a Mac to do this. Linux might work too, I'm not 100% sure.
