I've got a beige with 10.1.5 installed, and would like to clone

bit unclear on the steps involved with this. Do I install osx,
test to make sure it is bootable, then tell ccc to erase the
target drive before cloning?
I'm on a dial-up Internet connection, so I'd really like to clone
the OS to the new disk to save *many* hours of downloading with
software updater - which I just went through a couple of weeks ago
on the disk I'm cloning from.
Any advice on achieving a successful bootable clone would be
greatly appreciated. :)
CCC is essentially a pretty front end for rsync, from what i've heard.
No, it isn't.
You should be able to clone directly to the target disk, and then
set the permissions on the clone so that it'll start (see more
below about that)
Yeah, select everything on the source disk, check the box that says
'Make bootable' in the preferences, and go. It'll take a while.
