So I used Bootcamp in Leopard to install Windows XP... read the documents on the web about drivers and stuff but could find them... so during a search for 'right-click'-ing on the trackpad of the MacBook, someone pointed out that the drivers are on the Leopard install disk!
But the thing is, once Windows XP is installed, you insert that Leopard install disk (booted up in Windows) it becomes the drivers disk and auto installs the drivers you need, like the graphics and wireless, as well as the trackpad drivers that allows you to put two fingers and use the button for a right-click (and also allows you to drag with two fingers).
However, I still can't hold down CTRL and click to get a right-click... hmm, obviously missing something else here...
EDIT: 9/02/2008
So after discovering the above 'drivers CDROM' I proceeded to do the same with the Windows XP install on my iMac - and guess what? It broke the graphics driver big time - I couldn't set the resolution to anything except 4-bit colour! I had to roll back the graphics driver (and so it was a good thing that I had the proper installed drivers!) The drivers supplied by Apple also broke the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse! These two items worked before the drivers started installing - and after they simply did not work. BE WARNED!

LDAP directory integration
So after quite a while of fiddling around with Leopard server, I've reached a milestone - I've successfully made my server bind to our LDAP server (for user authentication) and NIS server for user home directory NFS mounts.
At one stage I thought Apple had broken external LDAP directory binds as I'd set it up in the same way as I've done in Tiger, but it did not allow me to login and authenticate. After a few post around asking for help - I searched the Apple discussion forums to find this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5791664 detailing an error I was getting when trying to examining the LDAP tree. I fixed the error as suggested and (a few other changes to sshd_config) I successfully logged in!
