* reinstalling mac OS 9.2 and OS X 10.4,

* so to start off with, before i can get into the ibook, i need to make sure i have installers and a place to back things up to
* for this purpose, because the ibook is too old to really work well with any of my newer macs,
* i broke out terezibook, my powerbook G4
* disk utility reports that i do in fact have a partition with a mac OS X installer prepared already,
* and after checking it in finder, it is in fact a copy of the OS X 10.4.6 tiger installer

* ive gone ahead and thrown terezibook into target disk mode and broken out a firewire cable
* its only 400 to 400, the ibook G3 doesnt have a firewire 800 port,
* but thankfully the powerbook G4 does have both a FW400 and 800 port
* theres actually a lot less on here than i had expected, so it shouldnt take too long to transfer everything
* ill move on to the next phase when thats done
