Support for Mac OSX 10.5

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

So Apple sold you an upgrade for your MacBook and the upgrade cannot be installed?
Is it really a retail DVD and not a gray recovery DVD? 
What is support saying? I read in other forums that the white MacBook 2007
runs fine with SL.

Regards,

Matthias
