A new version of Monolingual came out today and I just used it to remove the keyboard input files on my QS. I can't find my Panther disk to reinstall them but I also have panther installed on my old beige just to see if I could get it working. Can someone tell me where to find the files and which ones I need so I can move them?

The files are probably numerous and scattered. I wouldn't even bother trying to grab them from another system, unless the app left a log of every file it deleted. Even then it sounds like a pain in the ass.
I would just reinstall if I were you.

Thanks but you missed the part where I said I can't find my panther CD to reinstall it.

Thanks but you missed the part where that doesn't change my answer. I don't think you, or anyone else knows which files were deleted or what permissions they should have. Without that info you could, hypothetically, half-copy everything over and find out that things are worse than they were before. Borrow a friend's discs, or look harder for your own.

If you notice, the one mentioned in that post was an UNOPENED BOX. How could I install that copy on my Mac if I never opened it?

Though OSX installs are supposed to be universal the time it would take to figure out what files are gone would take too long to make it worth the effort. And then you still might miss some things. But if you want to sit there and make a list of the system files on both computers knock yourself out. You are better off doing a reinstall. If you can't find your CDs just peddle some more of your stuff in the Marketplace and buy new CDs.

Actually I found them. Just in case anyone else ever does this and wants some actual help, I will post them here. All you have to do is copy the folder from one Mac to yours.
