i have a G4 (currently running OSX 10.3.9) and am purchasing a used G5 Dual Core. I'd like to not have to re-install ALL my software, email accounts, browsers/bookmarks, drivers, itunes library, etc.
obviously transferring data isn't any concern.
i've got a 320 external firewire drive.
is it possible to just clone the drive to the G5 and have everything ready to go, just as i have it now on my G4?
seems like it makes sense, but i'm not exactly sure how to go about doing that, or know what the reliability is in replacing the files on the G5. i heard about SuperDuper! - but i'm not sure if that's the best thing?
i can install OSX 10.4 to match up so they both have the same OS, since i will be getting the original install disks with the G5.
any advice? walk me through how i can do it and if there are any problems with not actually re-installing everything fresh.
thanks!
