What did it say??? That's the key information needed here.
When booting from the newly cloned system I got a user and password box but my
old password didn't work. I booted from an install disk but it didn't recognize
the new system though it did see two other X sytems on my machine (the original
Panther and an old Jaguar.) I guess because there's no user directory.
Yep.
So what do I do? I'll try to move the user directory again with CCC. If that
doesn't work can I just copy the user directory over in 9? Reinstall over the
cloned system would be an extreme and inconvenient sololution.
Cloning it with CCC should work, but the error message you got is crucial for understanding what happened.
