Yes, it's perfectly possible to do this, but instead of doing the standard
Easy install, you should go to the custom install option so that you can
select the nescessary stuff for the powerbook rather than the desktop...
This might include some control panels, and extensions and possibly some of
the other modules... Just have a peek through the options and add any
extras that you need while leaving the basic installation as it is... This
way you can't take out anything the system might need, and then you can cut
it down to size once the installation is complete...
One thing I can definately not reccomend is to try installing over a serial
appletalk link - I had to do it once because of a corrupted system and no
scsi dock cable - it took 17 hours...
Have fun.
