Hi gang,
I have an older iMac G3 (400 DV) running 9.1 and a 200 GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro (FW 800/400/2.0/1.1). I recently bought a copy of Panther and I'm dying to "play" with it, you know, just to get a feel. Can I install it on the external FW drive and boot up from that and then restart, booting up with 9.1 on the iMac's drive when I'm finished? The other thing is, I have a couple things on the external drive right now. Can I safely leave these on there, or would they be erased during the installation process. Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
