| I successfully upgraded an iBook G3 466mhz from OS 9.2 to 10.3 and all I had to keep in mind for my particular Mac model was to install the Firmware Update first. The upgrade went without any problems and I purchased my Panther disc from eBay for a reasonable price.
Ensure the Panther disc is not an upgrade disc which would require you to already have Jaguar 10.2 installed.
Look for the Full Retail Bootable or Full Install Version which is the one you need and avoid any discs that have a gray label. AFAIK, both the upgrade and bootable versions of the Full Retail Panther set have black labels with a large white X on them.
You need to upgrade to OS 9.2 before you can install Mac OS X and as you are already at that point all you may need to research is whether or not your model requires a Firmware Update.
Basically, you have to be very careful as many vendors on auction sites will sell you a Panther set of discs telling you it'll work when it just won't.
