[X4U] panther 10.3.5

Yes. Exactly as I read it as well. Do to a variety of circumstances*, 
on some machines whole files will be replaces, in others the same file 
may only be patched, and in others left completely alone. But, whatever 
the path, it all leads to the one true system: 7M34. On the other hand, 
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that files specific to supporting the 
G5 are not installed on an iMac G3.

*Some files may have already been completely or partially updated by 
other Apple and 3rd-party installers, etc.
