SWITCHING to INTEL from PowerPC - HOW TO?


Okay, I have PowerPC 1GHz G4s (iMac and Powerbook) that I run from an
external hard drive and OS, so I may keep everything portable and only
need to carry the external HD with me, and nothing is trapped on the
machine itself should it break, and I can keep all my computers
interchangeable use-wise.

HOW DO I SWITCH TO INTEL?

My current OS is 10.4.11 on the PowerPC.

Will my current set-up run on a new INTEL, do I need to do some major
re-installing, do I need to simply upgrade to 10.5?

I have no clue how to make the transfer from PowerPC to Intel, and keep
everything working on my external HDs, including the external bootable
OS on the HD.

I DO NOT want to boot from the computers, I only want to boot from the
external HD.

Also, if I upgrade the external HD and external OS to work on the Intel,
does that mean I WILL OR WILL NOT be able to boot and work with my older
PowerPC G4s?


Thanks!!!!
