New If you have a second firewire mac
you can reboot a machine in target disk mode - it will act like a passive firewire disk drive. I do this when I need to move from one machine to another - you hold down the T key during boot and the screen will be filled with a firewire symbol - now its just a firewire drive - hook it up to another machine and drag and drop file transfers.




Smalltalk is dangerous. It is a drug. My advice to you would be don't try it; it could ruin your life. Once you take the time to learn it (to REALLY learn it) you will see that there is nothing out there (yet) to touch it. Of course, like all drugs, how dangerous it is depends on your character. It may be that once you've got to this stage you'll find it difficult (if not impossible) to "go back" to other languages and, if you are forced to, you might become an embittered character constantly muttering ascerbic comments under your breath. Who knows, you may even have to quit the software industry altogether because nothing else lives up to your new expectations.

New Not sure if this achieves goal ?

Goal is create a new bootable disk (30GB split into 7.5GB & 20+GB) from an existing 12GB disk (which is divided into two disks, a OS9.x disk and an OSX disk).

Once done, remove the 12GB & replace it with the 'cloned' but larger 30GB).

If I were to follow the suggested approach, would dragging & dropping from the 12GB disk (the current bootable one in the iBook) result in a new bootable disk that can replace it.

Cheers

New Dragging and dropping
If you drag the System Folder to the new disk, it will be bootable but in OS 9 only.

For OS X, however, it doesn't work that way.
