MAC OS X 10.3 PANTHER CD MAC OS X
Clearly, for some reason, the Java 1.4.2 Update installer was not recognizing Mac OS X 10.3.3 on that machine as a system “ higher” than Mac OS X 10.3.1. Much to my surprise, I got an error message saying something to the effect that the Java 1.4.2 update required “ Mac OS X 10.3.1 or higher“. Then I launched the Java 1.4.2 Update installer. Thinking nothing of it, I installed Panther from the original CDs on the first iMac and then immediately applied the Mac OS X 10.3.3 Combined Update on top of it. While things weren’t working right in Panther with the Java 1.4.1 software (the modules’ menus wouldn’t work), they seemed to be working with Java Update 1.4.2 under Mac OS X 10.3.2.ĭuring that time, however, Apple released the Mac OS X 10.3.3 update. (We seem to be their only customers with Mac systems.) Officially they only support the modules under Jaguar, but we did some tests in the past few weeks that seemed to indicate that the modules would run just fine under Panther. (These “Optimizing” processes at the end of each system update sure take a long time.)Īll our iMacs have to be able to run some Java modules developed by our library management software provider, which are not very Mac-friendly and for which the software provider is providing limited support. So for now I am going from machine to machine with the Panther CDs, trying to do two or three of them at the same time. Eventually I will probably have to take the time to explore the possibility of installing the same system on several machines from a disk image on our Xserve - but this is still too new to me, and there are a number of issues that I have to explore first.

I’ve been very busy lately with lots of work, including the process of upgrading about a dozen flat-panel iMacs from Jaguar to Panther.
