There is no difference in the single user 10.5 Leopard and the Family version. If you haven't opened it, take it back and get the single user version. You don't have the CPU requirement (866 MHz) to install on the 800 MHz iBook. You can clone the 10.5.8 iMac hard drive by using Target Mode and connecting the two via a firewire cable, Then use Super Duper to clone the drive. You can first move any data from the iBook to the iMac that you want to save as Super D. will want to erase the iBooks hard drive. SuperDuper is free: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/S...

Or, you can try LeopardAssist. No need for cloning anything. I tried that when trying to install Leopard on a friend's iMac G4 800 MHz. LeopardAssist at MacUpdate Just reset the PRAM after install. Hope this helps.
