Preemptive strike!

[cowtrail]

I am replacing my internal HD in three days. It still works but is going. I will put Leopard back on it and then use SD to restore all else, (I hope, LOL.) or should I just use SD to put everything on it from the get-go including Leopard? I have an iMac PPC G-5 Rev A so there has been a lot of changes since I bought it (Panther, tiger, Leopard), does all this matter in the scheme of things?

SD is on an external firewire HD. I looked at pages 27 & 28 of your manuel and read your response in gordonvp's post. Is there anything else I should do in preparation or copying back to the internal HD.

I appreciate all the assistance you have given me over time.
