Is it possible to install parts of Panther after the fact? Such as languages that were deselected during the original installation, or would the whole OS have to reinstalled?
You think? I believe it is impossible to deselect base system, so you would in fact be installing a new system. Am I wrong?
I am pretty positive that it actually looks through your existing system, finds anything that isn't there and installs that, without touching things which already exist. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I remember reading about this as a way to replace things you accidentally deleted as root. Take that with a salt lick...

Yes it is possible. You install just like normal (CD --> restart) then just customize your install to only put on what you need...
