If you have an open harddrive to do it on, you can "clone" panther to  
it and then just install Tiger on top of it. It will retain all of  
your goodies without the archive option.
On my other machine I have the reverse, a Tiger booting machine with  
a second drive devoted to panther due to a certain piece of hardware  
that fails under Tiger.
I am not much on partitions.
