Hi,
I need some advice. I've done a clean install of Panther on a separate internal hard drive. I have Jaguar 10.2.8 on my other internal drive. Since it (Jag)has been operating flawlessly for many months I didn't want to tempt fate & install Panther over it. I would like to transfer everything including my applications to Panther what is the best way to do this? Dragging & dropping wouldn't be correct would it? Thanks!!

It depends on the application. You can drag around some applications (like MS Office, take the whole folder) but not others.

You should also be able to drag the contents of your home folder over to the new drive (while booting of the old drive). Most applications should have no problem using those settings.
