If I am not mistaken, when you buy leopard, you get the same as everyone
else does unless you specifically ask for cds and there does not seem to be
a way to do that on the site. There are two ways to get basic leopard, the
single and the family pack.
I got a family pack and have installed it on several different macs. I also
have a single I got too and hae installed it on several computers too but
only have it on one long story.

When I ordered Leopard I was asked what I was running and what processor
it had inside and I think that was why.
