Dec 17, 2010 I have a Powerbook G4 and i was wondering if i can upgrade to leopard. It currently has tiger 10.4.11. Windows how to open dmg. Im not sure if leopard requires intel because i have a powerpc. Oct 04, 2011 This is my first post in the Macintoshian Achaia. I have a friend in need of getting a Powerbook G4 into working condition. It is a Powerbook5,4 PowerBook5,2. It is upgraded with 2GB of ram (maximum), has a dying hard drive, and a dead battery.

1 - i could not make a windows-keyboard work.. in particular, my imac (g5) would 'ask' about it when powering up by having me press the key 'just inside of shift key' on each side.. thus, i was never able to make the keyboard-combo work correctly.. if you cannot get into open-firmware, then try getting a normal MAC-keyboard..
2 - i was having all sorts of problems trying to get the correct device to use for the 'dir' command.. i could see the tree of information, but could never make a working 'devalias' for myself.. two clues:

i could use the 'UP-ARROW' to repeat the last command that id typed, so that i could just change the 'dir' to a 'boot' and add the BootX to the end and it would work..

4 - once i got my magic incantation correct, it took prolly an hour to get thru the first-boot - but eventually i got the great happy-mac sound from the other room.. hopefully you will be able to too.. :)
repeating: for me, the exact command i used was .. gl & hth, h.
