[DM-MUG] 10.2 or 10.3 quetion

[Matthew Wheeler]

Hi Jon,

10.2.8 is a fine OS. Apps were more stable in general with 10.2, but 
Panther has features I would not want to live without and I'm firmly in 
the Panther camp now (10.3.2) and have no reason to go back. In fact, 
since Disk Copy was rolled into Disk Utility in Panther (personal 
irritant), I've wondered if the stand-alone Disk Copy (from Jag) could 
be copied over and used. I'm happy to report that it does work under 
Panther. Yay!

One key to remember: once you've done any install (Mac OS or 
otherwise), run Disk Utility (Your Hard Drive : Applications : 
Utilities) and repair permissions. This is a very useful pre-and-post 
maintenance tool. Permissions are often modified by installers, even 
Apple's.
