Hi, I have an old iMac mid 2007 running Leopard 10.5.8 and I upgraded the RAM to 4GB from 1GB.
I tried to install a new copy (clean install from USB booting) but can't do that.
I've done the following steps:
- I created an USB bootable El Capitan installer
- I booted from USB
- I erased all the HDD content and I created a new partition
- tried to Install but I got this error: 'OS X could not be installed on your computer. No packages were eligible for install.'

I don't know what can I do at this point.
Os X El Capitan 10.11
Thank you for all your help!
