Panther and Tiger both work nicely on that machine. > > The CD's are numbered Version 10.3 2Z691-4633-A and 2Z691-4586-A The second number matches Disk 2 of my black retail set. My disk 1 is 2Z691-4585-A. Did your disks come out of the same box? If not, you may have parts of two different sets, leaving a question in my mind whether they will work together. Just try it. With your old machine, I'd recommend you chose the Erase and Install option in Disk Utility of the installer. That is, wipe out all the old after backing up your essential data. That will help with any budding problems on the hard drive disk by patching over them. Short of that approach, it is best to do an Archive and Install. Choosing the quicker Upgrade option can bring you trouble. It simply mixes the new code with the old, and it does not always succeed in bringing out a good, clean running OS.
