Purple? I thought the retail disc was black! Anyway, it should have a great big 'X' on it. If no 'X' and gray in color, it is a mode-specific disc and will only install on the model of Mac it shipped with.
The retail disc might still be available from Apple, but you have to call the number on the Apple Store web page to order one.

Where did you get Leopard from? I'm looking to upgrade my iMac G5 also from Tiger. I looked on amazon.com, but everything is over $200. I'm kinda scared of buying any disc from ebay.
I hear you on eBay! Some people try to sell the model-specific gray colored discs when they upgrade. But, if you don't have the exact same model, the disc will not install anything.
