When asked during the installation if you want to copy data from your old mac then:
- Connect a firewire cable from the new to the old mac
- Shutdown the old mac and power it back up at the same time holding down the ’t’ key. On the old mac a firewire symbol appears on the screen. On the new mac you can select which data you want to copy and then press ’continue’.
- wait...
You can also sync just essential files and sync the rest later by running Migration Assistant (it’s in Applications>Utilities) That’s it. You now have your data on the new mac. Somethings will not work as you expect though... To solve this you need to do the following:
- Connect to macamis
- mount the drive where the scgResources are
- install X11 (needed for VisualWorks)
- install XCode (needed for CVS)
- install MacTeX and TeXShop
- install Subversion
