can you burn your applications folder to a disk and then drop them into another apps folder on a different mac? willl that work?

Hey Matt... in OS9 days you could, but not anymore.

some apps do work actually, but not all.
- matt250
damn - thanks. so i guess you need the .dmg file and you have to reinstall. my friend is upgrading his os and doesn't want to have to install everything again.

Yeah... like rasko said, some small apps will work but major ones like Adobe won't.
It's reinstall time.

Fresh install is healthy every 6 months if you want a snappy Mac

Upgrade or fresh install? if he upgrades he won't have to reinstall anything

moving from panther to tiger i believe
- horton0
you can update to Tiger without reinstalling everything - no prob.
but that said, i always try to make time for an disk wipe and zero when installing a new OS.
safest bet but not a have-to.

maybe use target disk mode?
