In OS 9, the Installer included different resources in the System Folder depending on which Mac model you ran it on. How is this in OSX? Seems from some of the postings that the Installer always includes a full version? Meaning that a hard drive can by physically moved to another machine, and boot happily forever after?
Yes, with only a few exceptions (the special version of 10.2 that came with the very first G5's) the OSX *operating system* is a monolithic install.
Some programs won't get installed, such as DVD Player, which is only installed if a DVD drive is present, but the OS will work just fine.
