[G4] Beige G3toG4/CCC question...

[Snoke Jay S NPRI]

Ernie-
The original request was for help with Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to copy the OS X startup disk to a new, larger disk.  
I have X.2.5 and 9.2.2 running on it now (and quite well, I might add!) and am also running an ATI 7000 video board in it as well.  The CPU is a 500 MHz G4 ZIFand the jumpers were set to allow it to run at that speed, and the cache is enabled.  Instead of having two separate versions of 9.2.2, I have 9.2.2 only on a slave drive that I can set as the boot drive as well;  saves wasting disk space.  The drive containing 9.2.2 is presently not installed, so I can try to clone the startup drive to the new one.  There are 2 partitions on the new drive - the first is about 8GB, and the second a little over 11 GB.  As I stated previously, I'd like to clone the 4 GB startup to the 8 GB partition...
I still await any input from those experienced with CCC on a Beige G3/G4.
once again, tia.
Jay
