Is it possible to migrate a user account, desktop and apps from an Intel iMac with Snow Leopard to a Powermac G5 with Leopard (I'll explain that in a bit.) Is it possible to use some combination of Migration Assistant, Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner to move the user account and apps from a 10.6 to a 10.5 machine?
Long version: I hope to potentially solve two problems with this move. Firstly, I have a dual G5 which puts out as much heat as a small blast furnace. Combined with the quad-core Wintel box in my home office, the heat was intense, even in winter. So I went ahead and decommissioned it. However, my SO has the unfortunate habit of cranking the temperature to 78F. So I thought it might be a good idea to swap my Powermac for her iMac. The problem is that while she approves of the idea in concept, she is dead-set on keeping her current desktop and apps. The main apps she uses appear to be Leopard compatible, but I'm not sure if file and preferences locations are the same across OS's. I do have a backup of the original iMac Leopard install (CCC image), but it's been several months since I upgraded her machine. Any input welcome...
