UPDATE: Go to these sites, they do it better...

***Work in Progress***
So I got a new EEE 1000H and am trying to get it to dual boot xp and leopard...
But First: The Leopard install. (Read entire guide first before deciding if you should do this or not)
1)Gather what you need:
OSX - I used kalyway 10.5.1 then kaylway 10.5.3 comboupdate w/ vanilla kernel
USB DVD Drive
USB Mouse (optional)
2) First you have to reflash your 1000H with a bios suitable for OSX http://osrom.net/biosmod/. This step broke my XP install and now i get constant bluescreens - so be advised. Also I'm not responsable if your laptop bricks.
3) Boot Kalyway from USB drive
Press ESC when you power your EEE on and it should bring up a menu for you to select your boot device. (You may have to turn off Boot Boost in the Bios)
4) After it loads you need to partition/format your drive. Under 'Utilities' select 'Disc Utility'. I highlighted 'disk0s2' then chose 'Erase' and selected 'Mac OS Extended' as my partition type. From what I've read you don't need Journaling. If you want to use your entire drive you'll need to create one large partition (obviously). If you can't figure out how to do this you should probably stop now.
5) After you exit disc utility you'll be back to the install summary screen. Make sure you choose the Customize option after the EULA.
Under the 'Bootloaders EFT' section I selected 'BOOT_efi_mbr'. Unless you want to mess with apple bios emulation this way's a little quicker.
6) Now select install. Because the display is so small the window disappears (at least it did for me). In order to see what was going on I clicked on the Window tab, then Installer Log, then Window again, then Zoom. I selected 'Show All Logs' and was able to see that it was verifying the disc. (Which I wasn't able to skip. Lame.) Let it go until it shows the memory statistics for "install_successful" (something like that) and you should be safe to unplug the cdrom and restart.
7) If all goes well you should see the setup screen continuing and be asked a bunch of annoying question you can skip with alt-Q (maybe it was ctrl-q...). Congratulations - you have a disfunctional install of leopard! If you disabled Bios featuers you can re-enable them at this point.
I'm still in the process of getting drivers that work but here are some useful links:
Installing the video drivers:

Speed up startup time for darwin (set seconds equal to 1)

wifi drivers (they work, but not well)...
