Reverting to Panther

I changed computers and operating systems and now have a PowerMac G5 1.8Ghz Dual Processor 1.8GHz 4GB / 160GB running Tiger. I find Tiger very irritating and I am having trouble with my Classic applications. When I bought this machine I was told it would run Panther. I have never tried to lo
