Where to find a Mac OS X Leopard ISO?

Hello,

I found an old Mac Power G5 (2Ghz/2.5Ghz), but its previous owner formatted it under Debian...
I would like to recover Mac OS X, and I've read online that the G5 could use up to Mac OS X Leopard. So I would like to find an ISO image of that OS, or a slightly earlier version, but not too much preference....
I have another question, I tried to boot from a USB stick that contained Ubuntu, and the G5 did not boot from it. There is no BIOS in Macs, how can I change the boot order?

Thank you in advance,

    Hello,

    There is no legal ISO file for Mac OS X. You need to acquire Mac OS X from the Apple website or from the second-hand market.

    There is no BIOS on a Mac. To choose the startup volume, hold down the alt key during the startup phase.

    Best regards..

      Hi!

      Thanks for your reply.
      I don’t know if you can answer me, but do you know an "illegal" site that allows you to get Mac OS X Leopard without malware?

      I’m going to test for alt. Do the bootable files need to be burned in a specific way or is the usual method with Rufus enough?

      Best regards,

      I don’t know any illegal sites. If I did, I would ban them from the forum.
      Especially since all illegal sites provide infected stuff.

      Rufus for Mac does not exist.

        Hello,

        Alright for the illegal sites, I'll forget about them.

        Certainly, rufus doesn't exist for Mac, but since I don't have MacOS, I can burn from another PC running Windows. My question was whether a Mac could read a file burned, for example, in freeDOS?

        Thank you.
