Help: Upgrade OS 9 to OS X Panther

I am about to asking about upgrade OS 9.2 to OS X Panther.

I am going to get from friend iMac 400 mHz 128mb (not sure) 13 GB G3 DVD graphite special edition with OS 9.2 installed. Is that possible to upgrade ths OS 9.2 to OS X with Panther?

I know I need to buy the installation CD. I just want to know if this possible.

Thanks

Yes - is the simple answer.

If you can instal 9.2 on a mac then its ready for OS X.

I would recommend upgrading (via system update) to the last version of OS 9 - which is 9.2.2 if I remember correctly, just to make sure everything is bang upto date.

Ok thanks Tricky

A clean install is a good idea though. ie. Backup, format, install.

I've run panther on the same machine, it'll handle it fine (minus a few of the eye-candy effects).

Great, now I am going to find cheap Mac OSX 10.3.7 somewhere
