I figure this should go here.
I just bought a new Mac, and I want to move EVERYTHING FROM ADIUM from my iBook to my new one. this means Keychains, settings, everything.. how would one go about doing that.

Move the ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0 folder into the new computer's ~/Library/Application Support to keep all of your settings.
Search before posting, and this is the wrong forum.

It's already possible on Panther when you first turn it on.

Well, my dad used this feature when first turning on his Powerbook G4 15". And I also got it turning on my iBook G4 for the first time.

Here's what I do:
Boot one to target mode
Make sure the new one has an account name with the same uid as the previous machine
Copy ~/ to the new machine
Voila

You can also use carbon copy to get the second machine looking the same.

Moi aussi. I think that's pretty much what the setup assistant does, it just adds a nice little user-friendly interface to the whole thing.

Which is what Mac OS X is known for: user-friendliness.
