It's a long time since I did an OS 10.3.x install, but from memory I used just Disk 1. Be sure it's the full install disk, and not the upgrade one. You will need Disk 2 for some extras, like fonts.

You have not provided model details, but make sure the Panther disc you buy is suited to your computer. System install discs which come with the machine originally are very model specific.

Suggest looking for a copy of the black full retail install version.
