Re: will a PPC cloned boot drive work as the boot drive for an Intel?

If if did, then that would imply that the program binaries used by both the PPC Intel Macs was being stored on your PPC hard drive. IMO that would be a lot of wasted space! (Lord knows I don't want any OS X PPC binaries on my Intel MacBook's hard drive.) They're all universal binaries...
