[QUOTE="xstep, post: 273275, member: 11647"] The Migration Assistant says it will allow you transfer Users, Applications, Network & Machine Settings, Files, and Volumes. It is capable of transfering from another Mac via a Firewire connection or from a volume (disk) on the machine your running it on. I used option 2 to do it all and don't remember having any problems. I did wonder if it copied an obsolete application from the Utilities directory, but that wouldn't affect anything. I have third party applications in a special folder, and it copied those too. The firewire trick requires that you boot the machine with the old system into a special firewire disk mode. That way it looks like just another volume. [/QUOTE]
