An apple software tech told me something different. He said that it will be like the jaguar upgrade cds, you will need a previous version of 10.2 installed on the computer you want to upgrade, and then the upgrade cd will clean the drive and install a fresh copy of panther (this is an option to select during setup)

I think the installer just asks you to insert a jaguar cd and then veryfies.
