Can I install OSX onto a firewire drive?
Is it simply a matter of mounting the firewire drive, restarting from the DVD (Tiger) and selecting the firewire drive? Will it stay mounted after I startup from the install disk? The reason I'm asking is my frankenmac (G4 Yikes with a flashed PC Radeon 7000 PCI) will not install 10.4. Installer.app just quits with errors when I click "Install". Either that or I'll just clone my iBook's HD (10.3.8) using CCC.

Have you tried it? Because it certainly didn't go well for me - though now that I think about it, the kernal panics only happened when I was working in Adobe Illustrator.
Gonna do the CCC thing using 10.3.8 from the iBook, if that dont work looks like ebay, I ain't going back to using OS9.....
