Need to help a friend migrate from 10.4.11 on a MDD G4 to 10.6.x on a new iMac.
When I did my own migration (same mac to a 2006 Leopard iMac) I tried target disk mode, but was screwed because my everyday/startup drive on teh G4 was no longer in the master position on the main bus and it wasn't seen. I believe I tried ethernet but couldn't get it to work, and ultimately used USB/external drive (painfully slow, obviously). Anyone done a similar operation recently?
Has Migration Assistant gotten better?
Thx . . .
