I tried installing Panther recently and it asked me to get ready CD2 for installation of other language packs which I had installed earlier. I removed part of the languages that I do not need and left 2 others. Can I just leave CD2 alone and just continue with only CD1? Will the system encounter any problem later?

Hi
Wile going through the install on CD 1 there should be a time that you can choose Custom Install, in there I would assume you to be able to choose only your primary language.

I always select "Custom" when installing (or reinstalling) OS X. That lets me omit all languages except English (I also leave out the printer drivers I don't need). Even so, the installation program asks for Disk 2 and only thereby completes the installation process.
Me, I'd do a reinstall with Custom. But if your system seems to work without Disk 2, I guess go for it.

Maybe there are something else on the disk two that needs to be installed or apple just needs to see the disk for some reason on the install process. What is on install disk 3 anyway?

Disk 2 contains the language packs, printer drivers, and the apps that come with OS X (iApps, Mail, Safari, etc.). If I remember correctly, disk 3 contains X11.
