I have a Powerbook (my only Mac) and I have a 60gb external FW drive.
I would like to use that external drive as a backup boot drive in case my main drive dies on me some day (i.e. so I could hook up the external drive and boot off of that and copy files off the Powerbook onto the external FW drive before shipping it off to Applecare).
Can I do this? How would I tell the Powerbook to boot off of the external drive?
If so, What's the best way to install OS X onto the FW drive? [note: all I am looking for is a very minimal installation so I can just boot it and hook up the Powerbook]
