Am unclear what this is for sorry.
Will it help me with my iMac G5 running Leopard as well or is to get Leopard onto unsupported machines only?

Glad to see a update! I am one to look at an old project I worked on years back and decide to pull it out and make it so much better then the previous.
Nice work!
Also it looks like I need to make a tutorial about installing Leopard with a 800MHz iMac G4 soon 😀

ah right suspected, but wasn't sure - thanks for confirming.
In that case full credit where credits due - not many people around who would put that effort in for the love of it and to the benefit the apple PPC community - much respect 😎

I can say from my testing that it's a rock-solid version.
Other than:
1. Doesn't work on Jaguar (although you already know that now.)
2. Certain systems require being on their latest firmware first. I don't know if there's any way for you to procedurally check for that, or if that would be a royal pain in the @$$ to implement... But a warning would be good. (I found this out on my Cube.)
On a Panther-or-later system on its latest firmware, it works great!

And how well does it run on unsupported machines? I mean, Leopard runs well enough on my maxed 1.67Ghz PBG4, and even there, its just barely fast enough for normal use.
Don't get me wrong, its an amazing piece of software, I just don't get the point of it if say, my iBG4 (800) is too slow do use afterwards.

On my iMac G4 - 800 MHz, Leopard is just as usable as Tiger.
On my G4 Cube - 450 MHz, Leopard is slightly slower, but since it can run newer software, it becomes "more usable."
