The ToH release works better for me than the Brazilmac. The only flaw is that it was not bootable. That was solved by following these useful instructions:

"First, Lets Unmount the disk: In terminal type: diskutil umount diskXsx
- Ok, now lets put the file "boot1h" in the beginning of the partition: In terminal, browse to the i386 folder inside the 9a581-patch folder. Then type this:
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsx bs=512 count=1
- Now, lets run the startup tool to embed the boot code: (Place startuptool in your usr/sbin folder, on your Tiger Disk)
sudo startupfiletool -v /dev/rdiskXsx boot
- And last, lets give the pope's blessing to the partition:
sudo bless -device /dev/diskXsx -setBoot -verbose

Now, mount and bless the mount:
- diskutil mount diskXsx
- bless -mount /Volumes/YOUR_VOLUME_NAME -setBoot -verbose (Volume name is prob Leopard)

It seems that some people can't boot their Leopard after installing it. I'm not sure what it looks like but I assume they don't get into Darwin's Bootloader without building a bridge with the Install DVD. So rofl aka roflcopterguy found a solution for this I think

<!--coloro:Red--><!--/coloro-->
• Boot into the install DVD
• Open Disk Utility from the disk and unmount your Leopard partition
• Open Terminal from the disk
• Type
  /usr/misc/script.sh VOLNAME (where VOLNAME is the name of your partition for example "Leopard")
• <!--coloro:#000000--><!--/coloro-->Yo aquí aproveche para reparar los permisos del disco<!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->
• Now reboot without the disk and you should have Leopard running
