Yes, you can use the MacBook's installer just fine. It's only locked
as to the Mac it will install from, not the drive it will install to.
Start the G4 up in Target Disk Mode, boot the MacBook from the
installer, and choose the G4's HD to install to. I've done it before,
it works fine. No need for XPostFacto or Open Firmware modifications.

need to do some trickery to get Leo to install, but i think you
can use
XPostFacto4 to make it work. Also, look on ebay for Leo DVDs. I
would get a
full install DVD, but thats just me.
Oh, i want to mention that a MacBook installer might be x86 inly and
not install the proper files for the PPC machine. Well, if your
installing from the MacBook, it wont.
