Do this. Use CarbonCopyCloner and clone the 10.2.6 to the 30 GB drive. Then
install Panther on top of it, using Archive and Install, saving network
settings. This will do exactly what you want and is better than trying ot
set up references to the old system. After checking out that everything is
working properly, delete the Previous System folder.
