You should use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate your current 10.2 system. You cannot just drag the system as there is a lot of hidden files that wouldn't be copied. Plus, some files are owned by root and are not readable by regular users. I believe you can just move the applications around. Mac OS 9 can be safely copied over with no risk of missing something. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] field servoid [play on `android'] /fee'ld ser'voyd/ n.: Representative of a field service organization (see field circus).
