1. Open the terminal.
2. Browse into main directory of your Mac OS partition.
" cd /Volumes/name_of_partition "
" ls -l "
3. You should see a file named "mach_kernel" there. Make a backup of it.
" cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old "
4. Repair its permissions.
" sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel_old "
" sudo chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel_old "
5. Now you can run Software Update, and get your update.
6. After the update - restart your computer.
7. While booting, press F8 and write :
" mach_kernel_old -x "
8. When your computer boots up in safe mode - just install Andy's package.
9. Restart and boot normally.
10. You have 10.5.7 running.
Well, that's it. You can of course make a backup of System.kext aswell, then instead of booting into safe mode and installing Andy's kernel - you can boot into -s mode and copy back the System.kext ( and repair permissions ), but i find this way more convenient.
PS. seatbelt.kext is needed on 10.5.6 to mount USB/DMG properly. Without it your system may fail to mount usb drives or images, or kernel panic at you when you try to do it.

Is there similar method for updating 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 ?
This one worked for me on an old ibm T42 with pentium M (SSE2)
EDIT: I managed to update iPC 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 using this method and the iDeneb combo upgrade kit (10.5.8). For some reason the delta and combo updates from the apple site were broken or at least i received such error message. I didn't change the kernel. I am still using the Andy's 9.6.0 kernel.
