Installing Leopard on MacBook.

[aliceband]

Basically, I have a Macbook, a year old tomorrow, with Tiger. We also have a 6 month old IMac, on Leopard. Is there anyway I can use this Leopard disc to install it on my Macbook, or will it spit and hiss at me?

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Nope. The restore discs that come with a computer are specific to the model. Go out and buy it. Don't steal software.

Cheers for the help.

It's not really stealing mind, we have paid for the software, it's not like you wouldn't watch a DVD on two different players.

but you wouldn't watch the same dvd on two different players at the same time...

The Leopard EULA only allows you to install Leopard on single Mac (at a time) unless you've purchased the OS X Leopard Family Pack license which allows the installation of Leopard on up to five Macs.

.... and the 5 Macs should be owned by the common household members. (i.e. You can't buy for the neighborhood or your bridge group. It's meant for mom's iMac, sis's Powerbook, dad's MacBook Pro, and the twins MacBooks - 1 black and 1 white hehe) -GDF

If you're talking about Restore DVDs, it just won't work.

If it's just a regular Install DVD then I don't see why it wouldn't work, again putting any legality issues aside.
