I have a very old Power Book G4 from my aunt and I want to reinstall OS X 10.3 Panther but the CD got lost over the years and I dont find an iso image or sth like that on the Apple website. Where can I get older software downloads? (I dont need Updates, I mean the full OS X system to reinstall completely and erase the harddrive)
Power Book G4-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.3.x)
Does this work for you?

Wrong answer. That is an update which means you have OS 10.3 already installed.
If you are in the US call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
If you are in another country:

But Apple may not have such an old system still available, in which case try eBay.
Be aware what shipped new with your Mac. Identify it properly here:

With two interesting exceptions, no Mac may run an older version of the Apple operating system than shipped new with it. Mac OS 9 minimum operating system and Mac OS X minimum operating system are different sets of rules for Macs that shipped new prior to the shift to Intel CPU.
Where can I get OS X 10.3 Panther?
