At any rate it shouldn't be more difficult than what I just went through:
1) Had last PowerBook model (1.67Ghz) running Tiger.
2) Had a "CPU drop in" Leopard DVD. It would look for an existing Tiger install, no problem there.
3) Mac showed an onscreen graphic suggesting batteries be installed in Apple's old Bluetooth mouse.
Apparently it was meant for an iMac or something that came standard with the Apple Bluetooth mouse? There was no driver loading for the PowerBook's keyboard or trackpad. I plugged in an Apple USB mouse and the Mac froze. Next I tried a Griffin PowerMate and it accepted that and proceeded to install, which failed from a "bad disk".
In the end I put the disk in a G4 tower and installed onto the PowerBook running as an FireWire hard disk.
