Update performed on iMac G5, 1 GB RAM, 1.8 GHz. Updating Log Live as it happens.
====
[21:11] Connected new USB Drive. Inserted Leopard DVD. Window appearing to prompt me to restart after doubleclicking the install icon. Restarting.
[21:12] Grey boot screen.
[21:14] Wallpaper is the Aurora. Using English as language.
[21:15] Installer asks me where I want to install. After this, it installs automatically and tells me it will restart when it has completed.
[21:20] Install in progress. Approximate location of progress bar at 5%.
[21:22] Install continues to be in progress. A look at the Utilities menu reveals that a restore from Time Machine would be possible!
[21:28] Still installing. Quick note: I did not have a choice for a clean install or update, the screen simply said ‘Install’.
[21:34] Time remaining is estimated at 59 minutes. Ugh. Waiting… waiting… waiting… 
[21:42] It now says 33 minutes, which is more down to Earth I’d say…
[21:47] Standing at 70% or so. It’s definitely doing something all right.
[21:50] Install now says there are 11 minutes left.
[21:55] Install claims 9 minutes left, hard drive still quite active, CPU also having a busy day today.
[21:58] Now getting close to the end. Progress bar close to the right side, I’d say about 90%.
[22:03] Very close to completion. Progress bar almost there.
[22:04] Setup appears to be completing.
[22:08] CPU winding down! It probably completes now.
[22:11] One hour in. It has almost completed. But then again, this is a fairly slow machine, and there’s a lot to be updated. Time required is okay to me.
[22:13] UPDATE COMPLETE
[22:14] Restarting.
[22:15] Hard Drive notably busy.
[22:16] Smooth blue screen now, hard drive does stuff.
[22:17] Desktop appears, now install completion movie. It asks me if I want to use my drive for Time Machine.
[22:18] The new intro movie appears. It flies through galaxies, then there’s the “X”, which then animates into Warp Speed. I then can enter information about me.
This concludes the upgrade log
