Hi guys,
I am currently running version 10.5.8 Leopard on my Powerpc and in need of some disc space!!!!
Have went through some files and applications that I do not use and have eliminated them which gave me some space.
I have OS 9 in a zip file which I never use or refer to. My question is: Can I remove or get rid of OS 9 Panther without it affecting my system?? I think I also have Tiger.....can I get rid of it also????.......any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!.....Thanks

You say you never use OS9, so then why keep it installed?
However, Panther is not OS9.
Tiger is OS X 10.4.x
Panther is 10.2 I think. (Jaguar 10.3?)
Do you have each of these OSes on separate partitions?

Drag to trash, empty trash. (since you have copies, no big deal)
