Basically yes. essentially, download/make a boot132 with the kernel extensions (.kext files) for your hardware .. (look up a tutorial if your not sure on how to make one.)
Pop the boot132 disc in, boot from it, swap it for your Leopard retail disc, enter the disc drive ID (often "9f", can vary) and hit enter. Make two partitions on the HDD, one for the bootloader and one for the leopard install.. (you can have both on the same partition, but my preference is two different partitions..) install Leopard, when its done, boot from the boot132, this time boot from your HDD (where you just installed Leopard, drive ID is 80 for first HD, 81 for second and so forth, hit enter when you select the right partition). Once your leopard install is all setup, install chameleon bootloader to the bootloader partition you made earlier, copy over your kexts, activate it with fdisk, so its set as a bootable partition and ZING! all done. All retail and perfect, you can even now update without too much worry. The first problem is that the chameleon bootloader will try and boot the bootloader partition, causing a kernel panic, so, just add this to the boot plist on the bootloader partition..
Code:
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,3)</string>
I went through that very quickly, if you want a full tutorial, I will be happy to do that for you and anyone else interested!
