Sam - I was running Jaguar on a partitioned 80 Gb 5400 disk in my 
15.2" Powerbook.

I recently installed Panther on one of the partitions, but continued 
with the Jaguar partition as my start-up disk.  Just having Panther 
installed had no effect on any other files or partitions.  I started 
up in Panther from time to time to get an idea of what it was like, 
and started adding applications to the dock.

Over the (Saudi) weekend, I made the full transition to Panther as my 
main start-up disk.
It took a while to track down all the preferences, but there was no problems.

Today is my first day in the office, with Panther.  So far, 
everything runs perfectly.

I note that my full-charged battery shows 2h 4 min as its life. 
Slightly better than with Jaguar.

My impression is that Jaguar to Panther is a painless transition.
