[G4] OS install question

[hg]

Hi,
the carboncopy method works fine, often for me.
Firewire target mode is the best way (or you can work with the disks, but
that´s more hazzle)
Remember to rename the maschine and maybe you have to change the network
adresses afterwards, if you will work with both maschines in the same
network
