Hey! I have an iMac G4 1,25GHz running Mac OS X 10.3.5, and I'm going to sell it Tuesday... What I want to do is this: Erase and Install Mac OS X.
This computer came with Jaguar in its Software Install and Restore Disc, but as I bought it in December the 1st, 2003, along with it came the three Panther Upgrade discs. Now, I've restarted my iMac with the Panther Disc #1, while pressing "C", and everything went fine until the installer asked me to choose in which volume I wanted to install Panther: Apparently, it won't let me make a clean installation of Mac OS 10.3.1 over 10.3.5... I know that the installer would then ask me if I wanted to archive and install, erase and install, etc... I just want to erase the disk, it's no big deal to erase a recent version of OS X and install an older one, is it? I mean, the first thing I would do would be running System Update
Now, how am I supposed to achieve this? By erasing the disk with Disk Utility and installing OS X 10.3.1, or is that a bad idea? My Panther disks have "Upgrade" written on them... Am I supposed to install Jaguar and make the upgrade to panther again??
I'm kind of new to OS X and Macs, even though I'm already on my second one (a gorgeous 20'' iMac G5 ), I've been using them for 10 months only... So I still have no idea on how to do this...
Thanks!
