I indicated to Stanton Mitrany that a number of (but not all) Wallstreet users had difficulties installing Panther when their Wallstreet had more than 384 MB of RAM. This was questioned by a few list-members. So, although yours is a slightly different PowerBook, it's good to see someone else support RAM issue with personal experience. FWIW I agree with your "demoting" to 384 MB or less recommendation.
