Sorbet Leopard - Your Power Mac Unleashed

A dumb, quick video I did of Oddball's first Sorbet boot and opening up YouTube for some reason just took off and is now my second most viewed video. People are really interested, it seems.
Hi there...
Forgive me, but a newbie question if you will.
I just install Sorbet Leopard on my G5 Dual 1.8 and it works very, very nicely.
My question is this:
If I employ Migration Assistant to transfer my old 10.5.8 drive content to the new Sorbet partition, will this undermine any of Sorbet's upgraded features (in particular it's upgraded security)?
... and thanks in advance for your incredible effort!!

It's in disk image form instead of installer disc form so that's probably impossible without some serious finagling.
I tried to figure this out on my own. I followed the suggestions in this old thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2261033
Eject is not working in 10.5. This is the Sorbet version. It did work when I initially installed it. It stopped working after I tried a DVD-RW drive. It didn’t work and when I put the original drive back eject stopped working.
F12 doesn’t eject, eject on the menu bar doesn’t eject. Eject in iTunes doesn’t work either. I have to use a paper clip to manually open the drive tray. (See video 1)
When I put a CD or DVD in the drive it works fine, aside from the aforementioned ways I tried ejecting. I can eject by dragging the CD icon to the trash and I can eject from the DVD player.
(See video 2)

Try dragging the .dmg to your desktop and try again is all I can think of

See if this doesn't work.
DiscEject
DiscEject is a handy utility for OS X that ejects CDs and DVDs stuck in your Mac. It's very fast and simple, and is successful while other methods fail. DiscEject can be used for non-stuck CDs or...

mount the image and then set the mounted image as the source by right clicking on it in the images section of Disk Utility and it should work.I'm trying to install Sorbet Leopard on PowerBook G4 TI, the problem is that I receive a restore failure when I'm trying to do the restore.
The .dmg image is on USB Drive formatted as NTFS, but it doesn't restore it.
Some suggestions, please?
I have a question. I installed Sorbet Leopard on my Powerbook G4. So if a new version of Sorbet Leopard is available. can I just make a click on search for new updates or I have to install sorbet leopard new?
The fasted way to restore the image I found, was by connecting my iMac G4 (OS X 10.4) in "Target Disk Mode" to my iMac Early 2009 (running Big Sur with OCLP) over Firewire. No problems at all.
Connected it, added a partition, and restored the image without a blink ;-)

Yeah, but the problem is that i have only this PowerBook G4 Laptop and MacBook Pro 15" 2016, so for me, the only way is to copy the .dmg on the G4 desktop and restore it from there.
@ExclusiveMac There are no plans to create a traditional installer at this time.
@ww2_1943 Can you determine if this issue is also present in 10.5.8 before we recognize it as a Sorbet-specific bug?
@Mercedes33 Unless otherwise specified, further updates will be released in a shell script form factor that may be run on top of the current system to bring it up to date, rather than starting from a new disk image as usual. When they are released, you will need to look for them either here or at Macintosh Garden, as update automation has not been implemented yet.

@z970 kudos!
I've just installed your Sorbet Leopard on a long abandoned iMac G5 I had in the closet. Works a treat, it's given it a new lease of life. Many thanks for all your efforts!
Plan to install the same on a 1.25GHz 17" G4 iMac and several PowerBooks.
Now, one question if I may. I've never felt comfortable using Yahoo or Google, and always use DuckDuckGo as search engine on all my Intel macs. I note than DDGo doesn't currently appear as an optional choice in Sorbet Leopard. Is it possible to install, and if so how?

I can't get this to install on my iMac G4. I've tried over and over, and every time I get "An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory)" I tried every combination of "Erase Destination" and "Skip Checksum". I tried using the DMG as the source and the mounted volume as the source. I've re-downloaded to make sure I didn't have a bad download. Everything fails. Any ideas what could be going on.?
