<head -> desk> No, there is no difference! 10.5 is Universal, meaning it runs on any Mac that 10.5 supports, Intel or PPC. I've done this, using a single retail 10.5 disk to install on both PPC and Intel-based Macs. Intel and PPC need different partition schemes, but the OS installed DOES NOT CHANGE. If you re moving from a PPC mac to an Intel Mac you must use CCC and the drive on the Intel-based Mac must be GUID partitioned. PPC machines need the Apple Partition Map scheme. If you're moving from a PPC mac to another PPC mac, as the OP is, then all you need to do is be able to install the drive. Also EVERY DVD drive ever made will READ dual layer disks; after all, this is how a 2 1/2 hour movie + extras are put onto a single DVD disk. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
