Hi-
Ordered my 1Ghz TiBook!! So, with Jaguar, what is the best way to get my info off my old 550 to my new PowerBook? Drag my apps and home folder? Is it that simple?

you could burn a cd
you could beg or borrw an external firewire or usb drive
you could use .mac if you have enough space or time
you could free yourself from the dependency on old data

Connect them via a firewire cable. Turn the old one off, turn it on while holding down the 't' key. Copy all files from the old hard drive to the new one, eject old hard drive... done.

Hey that's what I'm doing as I type this! It took 38 minutes to transfer my music via Firewire target disk mode. I can't believe I've amassed 21.58 GB of MP3 music files (around 4500 songs BTW)...now for the digital pictures and my downloads folder...Fun, fun, fun!

Are the permissions of the Applications folder retained using the drag and drop method?

I'd have to check, I'm not really sure. I have the same username on both computers, so both show up as owner. How can I do a better check?

Drag and drop Applications? Aren't there files that get installed from the CD that go beyond the Apps folder? Sure would be a lot faster though than pumping in and out install discs. Any confirmation on the safety of this?
