Use Internet Config from 10.2 with Panther
Authored by: cleanhead on Nov 29, '04 01:11:53PM

A hint on Nov. 11, 2003, suggested this: "Just copy /System -> Library -> PreferencePanes -> Internet.prefPane from any version of Jaguar into the /Library -> PreferencePanes folder in Panther and you're done." I did that with one other, probably unnecessary, wrinkle: I deleted the old alias to the .mac prefPane and replaced it with an alias to the Jaguar prefPane in /Library -> PreferencePanes. I've never had a problem, nor has any Panther upgrade overwritten it.

BTW, robg was less wary that time. His advice then: "I didn't test this one, but no real harm should come from trying it -- just be aware that future system upgrades might (though I doubt it) overwrite that file, so keep a spare copy lying around just in case."
