What has to be done to blow away panther and go back to an older version of the OS? I mean sometimes older versions of some OS's (that start with "w") won't recognize or wipe out the partition that the newer version is installed on. So you have to start an installation with the new OS, blow away the partition, then shut it down and start the installation with the older OS. Would I have to do all of this or is there a better/easier way?
I think she really wants panther, but I'll ask to make sure.

Is she (or you) a student? AppleWorks 6 is only $39 for students, and makes a great word processor in either OS 9 or X. Of course, another option is to put 8.6 or 9 on that iMac and it will not only run Mac Office 98 well, but will magically turn from a slug into a speed demon.
