I put tiger on my quicksilver G4, which is partitioned, and ended up with really slow performance, I think because my system partition is only 8 gigs. I've decided to just go back to panther - I don't have the time to back up the other partitions and resize - plus I'm hoping to get one of the new intel machines when I get my tax return. Do I need to wipe the partition that has tiger, or is there a way I can install panther 'over' it, I've had Tiger for a couple of months now, will I have any trouble swapping in my current user folder over the default panther one? In other words, will panther have trouble seeing a user folder generated by Tiger. If anyone else has been through this, any tips appreciated. Judy
