Last year, I bought my iBook and a 17" flat panel iMac, both of them 800 mhz processors. I had some trouble with the hard disk on the iMac that has now been solved. In the meantime, I have done most of my work on my iBook, which I have come to love and depend upon. Now that I have my iMac back in working order, I want to transfer my whole system I have been using on the iBook--all applications, files, bookmarks, preferences--everything, to a bootable partition on the iMac, replicating everything that now lives on my iBook. I have found several articles on the Apple support site that talk about moving individual files, etc., but not the entire system. In OS9 I would have simply created a partition on the iMac to hold the iBook files and apps, firewired into the iBook hard drive, done a Select All and drug everything to the iMac. My question is, will this work for SystemX? Thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer me on this. best, johnpaulmoore at austin.rr.com
