ok...my b/w g3 has one more year of work to do. however, since the osx beta, i partitioned the original drive (12 gigs -wow) into 6 and 6.

i have panther running on one partition and had os9 on the other(with all the apps)...works ok except for running out of space warnings in photoshop, etc...

so since, i've installed a 100 mg internal hd and i want to install tiger on it.

question...how do i transfer my prefs in the panther partition to the new tiger drive?

i hope this makes sense...thanks in advance!

Use CarbonCopyCloner to clone your panther setup to the new drive, restart from that drive, then use the upgrade function in the Tiger installer

notta problemo

Wouldn't the Migration Assistant work just as well?
