The instructions at the OSX86 wiki for installing Leopard on the Mini by using two USB Drives say:

To make a Leopard install USB stick, you will need a working Mac:

* The USB stick will need to be be enough to contain everything on the retail DVD (or ISO image).
* Use Disk Utility's Restore function to "restore" the DVD (or ISO) to the USB stick. Make sure you check the "erase destination" box.

Now you can boot from the bootable USB stick. Make sure to insert it into one of the USB ports on the left side of your Mini 9, and insert the Leopard USB stick in the right-side USB port. From here on out you can pretty much follow Type11's instructions. The USB sticks will have a different device ID in the bootloader (e.g. not 9f) but this is easy enough to figure out through experimentation.

It says that you have to restore the DVD (or ISO) to the USB stick. If I have a .DMG of the retail version of Leopard, do i do the same (ie. is that the same as an ISO). Also, how do you use the restore function of Disk Utility?

Do I follow the same instructions for a DMG as I would for an ISO?

Probably. DMG's are just an apple take on an ISO.. ISO's tend to only be images of CD's or DVD's.. DMG's can be images of any drive.

Could you give me step by step instructions in restoring the Leopard dmg onto a flash drive please?

Thanks!
