UNEASYsilence and his good blogging buddy Kevin Tofel was able to painlessly install a special slipstreamed version 10.5.5 on a Dell Mini 9, which uses a very similar processor/chipset combo as the proven Leopard-compatible MSI Wind.
They first downloaded and burned the 3.2GB slipstreamed ISO to a DVD and then used that to install it to on the Dell, booting it up via an external drive (Press 0 (Zero) at the BIOS screen). Then they downloaded the drivers for the Broadcom wireless adaptor and audio chipset and installed those as well.
Unzip the archive from the previous step and open Terminal in Leopard on the Dell mini. Type in sudo and drag the bcm43xx_enabler.sh icon to the Terminal window. Press the Enter key, type in your admin password on the keyboard and follow the instructions. (For those who don’t like to read - basically press Enter four times and restart).
For more details, including the download sites, check out Uneasy Silence.
