This is one thing I miss about OS-9 - being able to duplicate system folders onto other volumes or backup drives.

In X, which parts of a HD content needs to be dragged over to a volume I wish to make bootable in OS-X ?

I see System, Library and also within Users there is a Library.
Would also like to drag over a handful of Applications.

I have a firewire drive that bascially mirros the contents of the internal and is bootable.
I wish to resurrect a older G4 (Digital Audio model) and so far my attempts to duplicate my setup hasn't been successful.


Attempt 1 - booted from the firewire drive and tried to copy its contents to the G4 internal - no dice.
Booted from the internal (into 9.2) and after acquriing the firewire drive, copied over the various folders. The startup disk control panel shows the bootable OS-X system folder but machine will not go past the initial screen and there is no 'activity wheel'.
