Too bad, not all the iMac G4s are supported with Leopard Assist as per their
web site. Here are some other articles which describe how to install Leopard on
a < 876MHz system. I've never tried any of these myself and you should be
familiar with the command line so good luck. Please back up any important data
before doing any of this, I can't stress that enough.

Here's a little Applescript program that does all the work for you.

Let me know if any of this works out for you.
