[macvoiceover] Re: Can not install leopard

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.
