How do i downgrade to 10.3.6?

[karoshi]

Hi...

ever since upgrading to 10.3.8 my powerbook pismo takes between 7 and 10 minutes to boot. after booting it's fast and it used to boot fast too. i've tried several things but now i just want to go back to 10.3.6 or so.

i have tried downloading the version and just installing it, but it says my macintosh hd is not prepared to install 10.3.4 (the version i tried it with).. i only have 1.3 GB disc space free (it's a 6 GB harddisc)...

the only way to UPdate was the software updater (downloading updated versions and installing them never worked, it said i needed more discspace - but with the software updater doing it automatically, it worked!)

is there any way i can downgrade to earlier versions? Or would i have to reinstall 10.3 from disc and then upgrade to 10.3.6 or so?

best, thanks,

About "Downgrade" installations

You should not reinstall an earlier version of the same software over a later version. These "downgrade" installs may seem to work, but Apple does not test nor recommend downgrade installations in most cases. Some installers prevent downgrade installations. If you need to reinstall an earlier version of Mac OS X, erase your disk first or choose the erase option in the Mac OS X Installer. Be sure to reinstall any software updates after reinstalling the operating system.
