I am not sure of the answer to this question, but I have moved a HD

whether one could (should try ) to boot a B&W G3 400 from a firewire
drive which contains a SuperDuper cloned MacOS 10.3.8 system from a
G5 iMac and with accompanying applications and documents? The
intent would be to then clone from the FW drive the contents with
OS, applications and files to the "new" computer, without having to
do it application by application and file by file.
I have hesitated to try this for fear of screwing the B&W G3 400 up,
since it works well now with 10.2.6.
Any suggestions or experiences appreciated.

Doesn't matter whether one should or shouldn't boot a B&W from a
firewire, one can't. The B&W doesn't support booting from FW.
You either need to move the HD into the B&W or boot from some other
drive (besides the B&W boot drive or the firewire drive) to clone the
firewire drive to the internal

In OS 9, the Installer included different resources in the System

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?
