It was also mentioned at MacOS X Hints that a usb drive can be used as a install destination if the partition or volume is GUID by Disk Utility. That option doesn't appear in my attempts to GUI a partition. I'm in OS X3.9 Any advice is welcome. Thanks, Roman
GUID is the partition format necessary for an Intel-based Mac to boot from. This format wasn't iuntroduced in Disk Utility until late 10.4. In fact it won't work on a PPC mac, you need to format it as a Apple Partition Map partition.
