Is hi-speed required to install Leopard and upgrades?

Question

I recently sold my 17" iMac G4 to a buyer on the internet who has neither DSL or cable connections. She says the iLife '06 that I included won't install because the machine indicates a higher/later version of Tiger is needed and that downloading the upgrade requires a hi-speed connection. Is this accurate? Also, is hi-speed as critical to Leopard as to Tiger. (If not, I would suggest she move up to Leopard and go with either the '06 iLife she already has or pick up iLife '08).
She loves the machine (a new Apple convert), but I feel kind of bad because I know her main interest is editing movies.
Thanks for any info,
Cap

I can't find any info on Tiger anymore, but for Leopard, Apple clearly states:
"Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply."
Without a highspeed inernet pipe, many of the updates will certainly take a long time, and sometimes dialup ISP connections will time out.
However, anyone with a highspeed pipe can download the updates, etc and burn them to a CD or DVD.
Streaming video, audio, etc, naturally requires a highspeed link to work properly.
