Problem description: A friend of mine was tossing out a Powerbook G4 because it has a dead optical drive. I took it from him, but want to put Leopard on it. I have a 500 GB external Firewire (and USB 2.0) MyBook Drive. I want to use that drive, if possible, to flatten and upgrade the Powerbook. I have my own Macbook, with Leopard installed on it.
Attempted fixes: I have used OS X's Disk Utility to "restore" the Leopard DVD to the external drive. (It's the only thing on the external drive.) I would be willing to do it via network, as well. I don't know that much about OS X.
Recent changes: None.

Operating system: MacOS X Leopard (10.5.2) on the Macbook, 10.3 on the Powerbook G4 (Tiger, I think)
System specs: Macbook, Powerbook and a 500 GB external MyBook Firewire drive.
