i'd like to know if it's possible to install osx 10.5.4 on the mini 10v, most of the people on the forums are using .6 and I see a lot of people saying that they upgraded to .7

I'm not very familiar with mac softwares but i'd like to know if I can install .4 and upgrade to .7 later on ?

You can use any Leopard disc (10.5.0, 10.5.4, 10.5.6) to install. With 10.5.4 you just follow the installation instructions as normal and use the 10.5.7 Combo Update to finish off the process.

thank you for the quick reply !

also, i dont want to start an other thread about it but is it possible to install ubuntu beside the osx partition and have it dualboot with grub as i would do with windows ?

Yes. You will need to modify the Mac OS X Installer to be able to install to a MBR partition scheme. You need to install Mac OS X to the second partition. You should probably install Ubuntu first, though. Besides that, I'm not sure about grub, but the DellEFI/NetbookBootMaker software includes Chameleon 2.0RC1, which helps dualboot.
