There are a couple of steps: . Take your system sounds and change them to aiff files. (Unfortunately I cannot remember how I did this when I switched over. Probably used SoundConverter or something simliar). Be sure that they have a .aiff extension. . Use the Terminal app to copy them into a place where they shouldn't go: the /System/Library/Sounds folder on your startup drive. To do this, open Terminal (/Applications/Utilites/Terminal), and type: sudo cp /Wherever/You/Have/The/Sounds/*.aiff /System/Library/Sounds and then give your admin password. (oops -- looking back at the rest of the email, it looks like you would know how sudo works) You'll be all set, then. You might want to have some naming convention like naming all the sounds with all small letters, since the sounds which come with Panther are capitalized. This will group the sounds together better when looking at them in unix sort order (which sorts in silly ASCII order).
