Hi all, new to the forum and new to Mac.
I bought a used Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz/1G RAM/80G HD today. It's running Tiger 10.4.11, but I'd like to do a clean install.
The install discs the seller included are the ones that originally shipped with this machine: Panther 10.3.2.
If I do a clean install from these discs, then update the OS online, how high will Apple's automatic update take me? I assume below Tiger and not all the way to where I am now. But not being accustomed to how the MAC OS updates work I don't know what to expect.
If I only get to the highest 10.3.XX upgrade, should I buy Leopard? Or will it slow down this machine?
Thanks in advance for your advice and help.
