What is the best way to transfer Safari bookmarks from a mac mini (powerpc) to a MacBook.
Is there a generic way which works with other browsers too.
I know this is a common question but I can't find the answer in FAQs.
Thanks

Copy ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist over to to the same location on your new Mac via USB, Internet, or a removable device.

Other browsers such as Firefox/Camino will have an html/plist bookmarks file under their respective folders in 'application support' under your accounts home folder.
