Mini-ITX case in this Fractal North ATX is funny to me. So much space.

So this totally didn’t happen on Sorbet Leopard but it did work on 10.4.11 and Shuriken. Not sure what exactly on 10.5.8 it doesn’t like but whatever.

Oh this is definitely happening on the iMac G5

Now that Sorbet is installed, time to have some fun! Wonder if I can still find people playing with Game Ranger. 🤔

Also while this was running I had iTunes in the background and Internet radio. The speakers on this are surprisingly capable for the time.

Sorbet Leopard rev1.5 loaded on the iMac G5. I didn’t have any dual-layers to get 10.5.8 retail DVD on here, so I pulled the 10.5.4 DMG from Macintosh Garden. I tried a later ISO but for some reason could not get the image to be bootable even through Toast 9. Thankfully the Apple servers still serve the updates for 10.4 and 10.5, so I was able to upgrade the Leopard installation to 10.5.8.

Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the Sorbet Leopard DMG from my PowerBook G4 (also running Sorbet), via Target Disk mode booted on the iMac G5 to the local Leopard install. Running a Permissions Repair through Disk Utility now and we’ll reboot and cross our fingers we’re good to go.
