I used Carbon Copy Cloner to backup my drive to an external FireWire 
400 drive which I disconnected after the backup.. Then I uninstalled 
all Unsanity products. The I booted from the DiskWarrior CD and did a 
directory cleanup. Then I did a Panther upgrade (straight 
upgrade-in-place). Immediately after doing the upgrade, I did a safe 
boot, repaired permissions and rebooted once more. No problems.

No.

Print Center Repair

There's some quirkiness in getting printing and access to network 
shares going smoothly after the upgrade. Test PDA sync'ing. Watch out 
for marginalised RAM. Feel free to reboot and repair permissions 
often inn pursuit of problems...
