[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 760404, member: 8287"] First thing you can not just copy OSX over from one computer to another and expect it to work or boot. It has to be Installed. Secondly, the copy of 10.5 Leopard that you have on your iBook, Is it a Single License version or a Family Pack? If Single License then you can not legally have it on more than one machine at a time. And a third point. If the Mini is a newer Intel Mini, the OS on the iBook is for Power PC and would never work on an Intel Mac anyway. [/QUOTE]
