Look on version tracker, there is an application called "Carbon Copy Cloner" <http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13260&db=mac> that will just do that. You can choose the system 9 folder in the preferences in case you have multiple partitions with valid system. It's not important. You can have it installed before installing or cloning OS X or after. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] C Programmer's Disease n.: The tendency of the undisciplined C programmer to set arbitrary but supposedly generous static limits on table sizes (defined, if you're lucky, by constants in header files) rather than taking the trouble to do proper dynamic storage allocation. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
