WTF?!?!? Something just wiped my Documents folder. EVERYTHING. Luckily, it was all backed up since I just installed Panther last night. The files were there earlier this evening --- could be one of two things:
1) The security update (posted today)
2) Running Classic for the first time (it does something to the system folder).
The files were all there at 7:15, and since then the above is all I've done on the machine (9:15 at time of this posting).
Have we uncovered the first serious Panther flaw? Thinking real hard about reinstalling Jaguar until 10.3.X.
UPDATE: Replicated problem with Panther reinstall and running the "security update 1.0" DO NOT INSTALL THE SECURITY UPDATE!. I've gone back to Jaguar. This is on a 15" AlBook (which, by the way, took a noticable speed hit with Panther).

I'm betting you did an upgrade install, and have some kind of software conflict going on. No way in the world should a Panther install slow down a machine.
I installed Panther (clean install), ran Classic after that, and installed the 10-28 security update. And my Documents folder is unchanged - messy, disorganized, and full of stuff I mean to get rid of.

Well - it's *something* as I was able to replicate twice. I'll go for it a third time, this time as a clean install.

No. The first serious Panther flaw involves FileVault.
