Hey everyone. I am currently still running 10.1 - thinking about upgrading to 10.2 though. My question is whether I need to be running Jaguar before I can install Panther. If I do, I'll get Jaguar now. but if not, I would like to wait until Panther comes out so I only have to make one purchase. Anybody know? Thanks a lot for your help

Normally you can just do a clean install and then no previous OS is required at all.

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to go from 10.1 > 10.3... Maybe if they made some kind of upgrade-only disk available for a lower price you would need to already have 10.2.

But that aside, if you pay the full OS price (ie. $129, or around £100 over here) you get the full OS, which you should then be able to install on any compatible Mac, no matter what OS version it already has.

yup, it don't matter what version OS X you have, it'll work.

No, you can jump directly to Panther from Cheetah.
