Will a Pismo boot OS X 10.3 from an external Firewire drive?
If so, until I can get a bigger internal drive I need to move Panther from my iMac to this external drive. I'm getting ready to sell the iMac.
Brian,
Download the freeware program called "CCC" which stand for Carbon Copy Cloner. This great utility will greatly decrease the amount of time it will take to move Panther and everything else to your new drive. You can this either via a firewire drive or through Target Disk Mode. CCC can be found here: http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
I was under the impression that you shouldn't use CCC to move a system BETWEEN machines - that at the deep and invisible level the OS is hooked into a specific machine after an install and to simply move it to another model (in this case an iMac 500 to a Pismo 400) things may basically work but that I would be asking for trouble in the long run.
Have I heard wrong?
