Ethics wise, based on recent discussions in this group; Its fine if its for your self, its bad if its to give to someone else. as for B, i believe all of those options would work, If it was an intel mac that was bootcamp capable, then with a disk utility copy and a HD partition copy I think you would lose the bootcamp section of the DVD, as its a partition that only windows can usually see. This would be irrelevant for a G5 though. I once had to clone a 10.4 install dvd we had bought for a G3 lampshade imac that only had a CD drive. It could boot from the firewire harddrive and install fine, so i believe all macs are able to do this.
