[G4] Installing Tiger with Panther

[Carol]

Hi Folks,

I am ready to take the plunge and buy/install Tiger.

I have Panther already running.  What I want to do is to be able to boot 
from Panther or Tiger.

My plan is to install Tiger on separate partition or even a separate 
hard drive.  I assume that if I just use the 'Archive and Install' 
option, I would lose the ability to boot from Panther.

What do you think would be the best way to do this?

1) Clone the Panther boot disk onto the Tiger partition.  Delete 
documents and other user data.  Then use 'Archive and Install' to 
install Tiger.  The idea being that it would keep my network setup. But 
then I would have two copies of my Panther application.


2) Just install Tiger from scratch on the Tiger partition.

3) Something else


What do you do with your applications?  Many of them should run under 
Panther and Tiger.  If I have only one copy of, say, Adobe's InDesign, 
will Tiger find it if it is in Panther's Applications folder?


My main reason for moving to Tiger is to use iMovie/iDVD from iLife 6. 
I could boot back into Panther for everything else.  Would that be the 
way to start?
