What is the easiest way to go to an earlier version of panther?
What I'm going to suggest won't do you any good now but you might want 
to
think about it for the future. Large external hard drive prices can be 
had
for $125 to $150 and several companies (Maxtor and Seagate for 
example) sell
drives specifically designed for one button backup. Get one.

Mine has three partitions. One contains a backup of my 'Book as it 
exists
today. I back up my documents folder to it weekly, the OS and 
Applications
folder every month or two. The second contains the previous OS 
version. The
third partition I use to store important downloads and comes into play 
when
Apple issues a new OS upgrade. At least for a month or two I'll keep 
three
versions of the OS around.
Thanks for the advice. I have a 30 gig internal in my ibook and an 80 
gig external. I can do this for the future as yousay.
