about the only thing i can think that would work would be get an external usb dvd drive it would be slow or you can install a new dvd drive in your ibook but thats about it otherwise your out of luck

as said before it wont run on G3's. But to answer your question if you have 2 macs you could target disk mode the one you want leopard on then in stall from the other mac. I believe the "host" mac would need to be able to run leopard. or you could use a usb (hopefully 2.0) dvd drive
