Migration Assistant excruciatingly slow on Leopard PPC

Hello there,


I received this old PowerBook G4 as a gift with the idea of tinkering with it. First I have done is a backup in the Synology NAS I have, like I do with my other Macs. That apparently succeeded. After a few days, I decided it would be best to start fresh, so I went through the pain of reinstalling Leopard from DVD. Now I wanted to restore some applications and files on the PB using Migration Assistant (MA).


MA readily sees the Time Machine backup on the NAS, but took close to two hours to display the login box for the NAS, and another hour to let me select what I wanted to restore. And it failed in the end when I finally could proceed.


Neither the NAS nor the PB were sleeping at the time. How would I know what's going awry?
