I just got a PowerMac G5, DP 2.7 AGP (not PCI-X). I'm still using a PowerMac G4 DA, with OSX 10.4.11, and lots of installed bits and pieces (apps, tools, drivers, personal data, etc.).
I now have two possible options for setting up my new G5: - Cloning my existing OSX partition (from the G4). - Installing OSX 10.4.11 ex-novo, and then reinstalling/moving all the extra stuff (a long and tedious process). Obviously I'd rather use the first, since it would be fast and simple. But I wonder if moving an OSX from a very different Mac could cause any trouble. Is there any reason for installing ex-novo, against simple cloning? Another question: if I choose to installing ex-novo, will Migration Assistant be able to transfer all the "extra" bits and pieces? Or will there be something missing? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
