Lynne: Short and easy answer is yes.
I've done this before and works like a charm. The only thing I can think of if you have licensed programs you might have to type in the serial number ETC. It works good and hope you have good luck with it.

Currently this machine has no OS installed, and I would like to mimic one of our MacBook Pro's using Time machine backup to restore it. The backup is on a Time Capsule. What I would like to know is this; can I boot into the Snow Leopard Disk Utility and then select the "Restore from Time Machine Backup" option, given that the machine is not the same one as that which created the backup? Advice appreciated.
