[X4U] New Mac Upgrade

[Thomas Noel]

Connect the external drive to the new Mac by Firewire or USB2. Start  
Migration Assistant, and the third screen (after authenticating) will  
ask whether you want to migrate from another Mac or from another  
volume on the new Mac. Choose the second choice. The external drive  
must have Mac OS X installed and bootable (blessed). From there to  
finished is quick and painless.
