*Any* flaw that occurs while you operate your machine. Disk errors, not yet full blown, are one them beyond your control usually. Bugs are another. The thing is that little is static here, it's dynamic ans small errors count. There are 100 000+ files AFAIK in Panther. If you think there really will be no potential flaws building up in an OS install that you use actively, especially if ran on an admin account, then there's nothing I can say. You can do it any way you want. I rather do it the safest ways I know of. That choice is based on experience and my reasoning that if very little time is to saved, then why risk anything? I have installed and reinstalled many times on many machines, sometimes from a mint image and it really takes very little active time in both cases. I don't babysit installations, I do it between other things. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
