You'd boot the DVD in the other Mac, and attach the iBook (already
booted in Target Disk Mode) via Firewire cable and then install normally
to the iBook's HD.

I always prefer to boot the machine with the DVD drive into FW TDM and
mount it on the machine I'm installing into. While OS X is pretty good
about installing everything (ironically the one exception I know off
hand is the DVD player only gets installed on machines with DVD drives).
But you are less likely to run into problems if the machine you want
to install onto is the one running the installer.
