The 32GB SSD arrived today (from Memphis to Cincinnati to Atlanta to Bham) so I installed Leopard.
I made an install USB thumb drive using an 8GB drive from a 10.5 disk image. I never could get a bootable DellEFI thumb drive working so I used an install CD with the thumb drive plugged into one of the pass through ports on the double ended USB cable.
After booting from the CD, it found the USB drive immediately & installed in about half the time that it takes using the Leopard DVD. Updated to 10.5.6 from a disk image on another thumb drive, ran DellEFI & then Monolingual. Software Update is now installing 5 items then I'll be good to go.
I'm interested to see how this 32GB Super-Talent SSD compares to the 32GB RunCore in my original Dell Mac mini 9.
