Thanks to everybody for your advice. I just cloned my system to the new G5, and everything went fine. :-)

I'm very happy with my installation and all the bits, pieces and tune-ups, that's why I really like cloning it.

Good advice! I used Applejack to clean/rebuild everything, just in case. > I've run into a few odd gitches doing it... eg: I did a clean > install into a PowerBook G4 then cloned to a PowerMac G3 and later a > PM G4. It works fine. But now and then it thinks it has bluetooth. Talking about glitches, when cloning onto my PowerBook, I can't call Dashboard using a Function key (like I do with the PM G4 and - now - G5) anymore. If i re-set the keyboard shortcut thru the Pref panel, it works, but whenever I (re)boot, the PB keeps "forgetting" the shortcut.
