That works great, I've done it a dozen times or so, upgrading folks. I  
always leave the original account since it's our support account. It's  
always a good idea to have a test account to troubleshoot things.

Migrating From One Mac To Another

2008-10-23 Thread Simon Royal

Hi.

I am new to the migrating idea. Recently I migrated from 10.5 from 10.4 with 
both being on seperate drives.

Now I have yet another new Mac coming and I want to install 10.5 on it and 
migrate my user account, files and settings from 10.4 on my iMac G3.

Firstly, how do I hook the two Macs up? Firewire or over network?

Secondly, when I migrated last time I did it after installation was complete 
and then had to delete the user created when installing.

This time I want to use the migration assistant when installing so I dont end 
up with two and at the end of the installing Leopard all my stuff is there as 
before.

Simon
