I always thought that Apple installers run a check to ascertain if the
OS software can be installed to the selected hard drive ?
No, it checks the logic board of the Mac the install disc is being run
from. As long as the Mac you use is at least a 867MHz G4, it will
install on a hard drive in a Mac that is slower; you just use FireWire
Target Disc Mode
Just now the "Leopard" is being installed to a FireWired drive with a QS
G4 ( 933MHz) hosting the drive. No complaints from the installer.
That is because the MINIMUM speed is 867 MHz and you're above that.
