G3 Lombard (bronze), 400 MHz, 512 MB, 30 GB internal drive.
I was running 10.2.6. Used CCC to back up everything first, then tried to Archive and install Panther on top. Installer choked at the Asian fonts, crashed, can't reinstall Panther, always chokes about 2/3 way through. No external devices connected.
Drive10 says my HD is fine.
Zeroed the HD with Disk Utility from 10.2.6, using an expansion bay HD.
Panther installer crashes. I have two sets of disks - they both do it, so it isn't bad install disk. I can install 10.2.1 OK, but can't upgrade it to Panther.
What is going on? Suggestions? Am I stuck in Jaguar?
