Correct and you cannot always install 10.5 on PPC even though others say they have. It depends on the hardware. I believe that the EFI is checked (or some such hardware setting - CPU?) as my own sister found out on her mac mini (first gen) the DVD I had for 10.5 said that the hardware was incompatible with the 10.5 installation. Even though we had gotten the DVD from a neighbour who had it running fine on a later gen mac mini with PPC. Good old Apple ;) -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
