Actually, I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could point me to some instructions on how to do this. My G3 iBook, running 10.3.3, locks up about once a week and it's always when I'm copying a big file via Airport (afp sharing, never smb). I'm not sure whether it's the entire OS or just the Finder that's throwing a wobbly. It's the one real disappointment I've had with Panther - in my case it seems to be less stable than Jaguar and about on par with my OS 9.2.2 box.
