There is a 4.5 gig .dmg that works fine.
I have found a sparsed.dmg for install of Leopard. It is only 4.5 Gig and is fairly easy to install. I have had it running now for a couple of weeks updated to 10.5.1 and its great even a little faster than Tiger I think.
Contact for the torrent link its still alive and all the instructions are there as well.

can't PM you. name of torrent and the site?

You can make your own 4.5GB disk image. Take Leopard and save it as a sparce disk image. Open the image and delete developer tools, language translations, and printer drivers. Then save it as a SL-DVD 4.6GB. Then burn and your done.

The point was to GET Leopard Install not how to make a sparse.dmg if you already have Leopard. The mentioned 4.5 gig was a torrent and much easier to download that a 7 or 8 gig .dmg
The sparse.dmg still has the printer drivers on it but there are steps to take to save time loading it as start up disk for instal.
You have to use monoligual to delete all language support from Tiger or whatever your using except English otherwise the Install spends hours looking through them all deciding what you need when it doesn't even have the language support files to install.
Anyway the instructions are all on the torrent site.

could have been helpful two weeks ago, when i began downloading leopard but it is finally done and it works beautifully
