  • OS X Jaguar / Panther

    Hey all-

    Haven't upgraded to Jaguar yet, just a tad behind the times. Does
    anyone know if I'll need to purchase Jaguar in order to upgrade to
    Panther when it comes out? Will there be a bundle package that I can
    purchase?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Jaguar isn't required in order to install Panther.

    Panther will be a standalone installer. No previous O/S will be
    required.

    They're completely separate. You should probably wait for Panther.

    Panther might not show up for another six months or so; whether that
    means someone should wait is a subjective thing, but don't make the
    mistake of thinking that Panther's imminent.
