[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 102810, member: 273"] As I said, you will definitely need XPostFacto if you want to install 10.3 Panther, but will not need it if you will be installing 10.2 Jaguar. You can certainly do a fresh install, but the process is a bit different depending upon whether you're installing Panther or Jaguar. For Panther (requiring XPostFacto), you will first need to partition the drive with the first partition slightly less than 8 GB. Then you would install OS 9 on the second partition, download, install, and run XPostFacto from the OS 9 partition, and the rest of the installation will be normal (XPostFacto will prompt you to insert the OS X disks and will handle the rest). If you're installing Jaguar, all you would need to do is partition the drive as stated above, then insert the disk and run the installer. Either way, OS X will always need to be installed on the first 7.99 GB partition. [/QUOTE]
