I am moving from an intel mini to a PPC iBook - I have outstanding tasks - how do I migrate to the iBook and not lose what's on the mini?

I have to wipe the mini and reinstall the OS and don't want to lose evertything on it.

You cannot transfer the work from one to the other as it is assigned to the Mini and it has to return it.

You need to go into the accounts panel, select SETI and then click on the No New Work button.

If possible crunch out what you have on the mini and then detach it from the project, if you do not have enough time just detach the mini after finishing the current units. SETI will reissue the work to another computer.
