And, in a way, it did work (and was almost as fast as FW) for the data stuff, but it didn't for OSX. Not completely, at least.

After all, a cable is a cable, so why CCC shouldn't do its job thru Ethernet like it does thru FW? Actually, I think it does: the manual states that version 3.4: "Back up to and from network volumes (e.g. AFP, SMB, via "File Sharing")" Maybe my problem was that I executed the clone (CCC) from the Mac *receiving* the data, instead that from the Mac where the cloned OSX resides (so I hadn't all the "privileges" I needed to copy all the files). Anyway, today I got a new FW cable, it worked and now my new G5 is fine and dandy! :-D Thanks to everybody for their advice. :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
