I am replacing the slow 400 mhz laptop that I use as a desktop with a mini.
10.4.11 on both.

I want to use migration assistant to transfer the laptop to the mini.

In doing so, it copies the application folder. My question is this. Does it just copy the apps on the laptop to the mini application folder or does it replace/overwrite the application folder on the mini?

I don't want to lose apps that are on the mini that don't exist on the laptop.

Any info appreciated.

It copies over any apps that do not already exist on the mini
