Default Mac OS X Leopard on any G4 with ram 256+

I found how to run leopard on any G4 with 256MB ram All i had to do is edit the OSInstall.mpkg in Leopard Since I had a computer at 1.2Ghz.
Removed
// require 867Mhz+
if (system.sysctl("hw.cpufrequency") < 866000000) {
return false;
}
and edited the mim ram to 256
I attached the edited file.
To install it all you have to do is insert you leopard disc in to your computer.
If you have more than one hard drive(Maybe FireWire Drive Or Partition.) All you have to do is open disk utility click on the leopard disk, Go to the restore tab, Drag the leopard disc to the source field, drag the other hard drive to the destination field, click on restore, and than wait... (You can get some popcorn and a drink at this point)
When it is done go into the disk press command-shift-g when the dialog appears type in System/Installation/Packages/ and hit go.
copy the OSInstall.mpkg that I made to it, boot off of the hard drive, and install.

I was talking to this guy and he said it is possible to install it on a G3 by tricking the installer to think it was a G4 and an 867MHz processor, but it would be really slow.

Well You can remove the stuff that keeps it from installing I guess but that is not worth it for a G3 Your best off with Mac OS X Tiger.
