I have nothing for you, but wanted to throw in my $0.02:

If your goal is to install Leopard, you can do so by making use of your Mac, Disk Utility, and a 8GB+ USB drive (as well as your Leopard DVD, of course).

If you actually want to make DVDs from your Mini9, nevermind.
I, personally, would use my main computer for that purpose and keep the Mini9 slim & trim.
