I think the O.P. was talking about a retail version of OS 10.5 (which comes on one DVD-DL).

If you try to do this with the CDs/DVDs provided with your computer (Restore Softwares DVD, etc.) you will probably have to "trim" down the DVD to get only the System Install (extract the System Installer and not the iApps and cie).
