Right now the 8 gig limit isn't a big deal to me. I loaded Jaguar on the drive tonight, but then It wouldn't upgrade to Panther. It still says that a whole ton of stuff is missing. None of this really matters that much. I got the large drive up and running so I can go back to doing my digital video. Getting Panther going was just a lark.
