Hi, Arnaud.

Your assumptions aren't really correct. While your User files are mostly in /Users, Applications have bits and pieces all over the system, in /Applications, /Library and -- sometimes, in /System, too.

If this is an old 15", and you're running Tiger's latest release on the 12", you can indeed copy with SuperDuper!, and update with Smart Update, at least if what you're trying to do is make sure the 15" acts as an exact clone "just in case".

Basically, if you're "moving" to a new computer, I suggest using Migration Assistant. If you're trying to keep a 2nd computer as a copy of the 1st, as long as you have the most recent OS, I suggest using FireWire Target Disk Mode and Smart Update...
