I just got Panther. My question is sometimes copying files from one hard drive to another is extremely slow and comes to a halt and won't even stop when I hit the stop button. I had to hit the restart button last and it took a long time to boot up. Anyone experienced this.
The other question is my start up disk doesnt have much room on it anymore after the install (about 1.5 GB) so can I load all my photos into Iphoto without taking up more space on the main HD? I guess the app would have to be on the startup disk and not on my extra Drive.

iPhoto stores pictures in its own library, under your user directory. so, if you have the photos on your primary drive, import the photos to iPhoto then delete the originals so you won't store it on the drive twice. Make sure iPhoto has all your photos before you delete the originals, of course.

The install should only have been about 450 MB. You probably didn't do a custom install and because of that you now have support for every language, every printer, chinese fonts, and additional text-to-speech voices. In other words, you need to reinstall without those things and you'll save yourself a Gig.

Yeah my install was like 3 GB. It was custom but I included eveything I guess without paying that much attention. It sounds like a pain to install again.?.?.
About Iphoto, so I guess to have photos in Iphoto they have to reside on the start up disk since the users directory/app is there? Now my photos are on the other 80GB HD. The main drive is only 10GB.
Anyone else had a problem copying files from one drive to another?

Awesome, that's what I'm looking for. So you actually create a seperate partition on the other drive or just point it to a folder on the drive?
There's so many apps and folders to put your stuff in the users directory I think I need more GB space for the start up disk now. Before I still had half the space left and it didn't really matter.

buy a cheap drive for like 40 bucks. I prefer iView MediaPro over iphoto. You can view photos, movies, music, or whatever. Its faster and doesnt create 19 versions of the same file.

So how do you make an iphoto alias to a different drive? I've only found how to straight import them so far.

I would recommend formatting and then installing Panther fresh
that, and getting a bigger main drive/partition
