How is possible cloning?
Using Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!, or even Disk Utility>Restore. In the case mentioned, an iBook 800 MHz without correct installer disc, you'd boot the iBook into Target Disk Mode using the "T" key at startup, plug it into a Mac running Tiger, and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the current Macs Tiger System over onto the iBook HD.
and you think is possible to run Tiger in a clamshell 300 without XPostFacto?
Yes. The installer limitation of Tiger to "Firewire" Macs is artificial, and probably related to the use of "Migration Assistant" in Tiger which requires Firewire to work. You can use XPF to install a "clean" installation of Tiger onto any "new world" Mac and then NOT install XPF extensions onto the new clean installation. You can also transfer or clone any "clean" installation without XPF and it will run fine on non-Firewire Macs such as the clamshell iBook or colored iMac.
