"Run full OS X installer for another drive without rebooting">
Wow! Will this work with Tiger?
I suspect it might, it's worth a shot.
It's not necessary to run this Terminal command to launch the DVD's
Installer.app. The Installer.app on your installed system HD works
fine for installing OS X onto any drive OTHER than the boot HD. The
way you do this is to navigate in the OS X Install CD/DVD to
System>Installation>Packages>OSInstall.mpkg and then double-click it.
It will launch Installer on your HD and install onto ANY valid HD
including your boot HD, but DON'T install onto your boot HD, ONLY
install onto "another" HD.
When you boot "another" HD you'll be greeted with the normal account
setup procedure. This method does NOT give you any "customization"
options, so if you need other stuff you'll have to add it separately.
This can be done identically (without booting the Install CD/DVD but
navigating to System>Installation>Packages>(whatever optional package
you need, say Print Drivers, or X11, or whatever), and double-click it.
