What's the current state of knowledge as to how much compatibility
is required to make this work? I assume that both computers should
have the same version of OS and fink install. I also assume that
this trick won't work between PowerPC and an Intel CPU. What about a
G4 & a G5?
PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz [2 GB mem] Os X.4.6, Apple X11, XCode 2.2.1, Fink
