Hi All,

Am considering switching to Tiger but worried about killing some of my apps so have this funky idea but not sure if it will work.

What I am considering is adding a new Hd and install that with Tiger and keep Panther on the original Hd.


Have a questiion, if I were to do that will I be able to:

1. Import my mail folders, safari bookmarks and such into Panther's version?
2. Keep my installed apps like Azureus, Thoth, office and such on the Panther Hd and run them from the panther Hd while using the Tiger Hd as my boot Hd.

Thinking of doing step 2 after step 1 as step 2 saves me reinstalling all my apps and prevents me from doing something really dumb that may kill the proper functioning of them.

Thanks for the help and advice.
