[X4U] Using OS-X Install disks

[Ken Johnson]

OK - I'll try that.  My Mini is a Core-Duo Intel model & my MBP is a  
Core2-Duo Intel.
In the past, I have moved the physical hard drives, with all the  
software already installed, from one computer to another (were Power- 
PC models) and that always worked OK. The procedure you outlined is  
somewhat akin to that. Thanks.
