1. Open the terminal.
2. Browse into main directory of your Mac OS partition.
" cd /Volumes/name_of_partition "
" ls -l "
3. You should see a file named "mach_kernel" there. Make a backup of it.
" cp mach_kernel mach_kernel_old "
4. Repair its permissions.
" sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel_old "
" sudo chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel_old "
5. Now you can run Software Update, and get your update.
6. After the update - restart your computer.
7. While booting, press F8 and write :
" mach_kernel_old -x "
8. When your computer boots up in safe mode - just install Andy's package.
9. Restart and boot normally.
10. You have 10.5.7 running.
Well, that's it. You can of course make a backup of System.kext aswell, then instead of booting into safe mode and installing Andy's kernel - you can boot into -s mode and copy back the System.kext ( and repair permissions ), but i find this way more convenient.
PS. seatbelt.kext is needed on 10.5.6 to mount USB/DMG properly. Without it your system may fail to mount usb drives or images, or kernel panic at you when you try to do it.

This worked perfectly for me to update my 10.5.6 AMD Athlon x2 with x1900xt from a relatively vanilla iPC 10.5.6 install to 10.5.7. Had to reboot an extra time and booted with -x -v on the new kernel for kicks, but i'm up and running now. thanks!
