Well, I just configured my old PowerBook (Pismo) as a netboot server
for my new PowerBook G4 (17" 1.33GHz) and cloned the system with
dump/restore.  Easy as cake.  If you configure netboot servers on a
regular basis.

BTW, I wrote Pismo instead of PowerBook G3 first, and then stalled
when I couldn't figure the nickname of the new PowerBook G4.  So I
looked it, and it's Q41.  Argh.  They don't make codenames like they
used to.

Oh, and I found that Ben's development tree works best for a kernel,
and Michel's dri-trunk snapshots provide a working XServer.

Regards, Jens.
