Besides the procedure described above, when installing software on a PB in SCSI disk mode from the host Mac, is it not true that you can simply copy the "installer" app off the host to the PB hard drive, and then the install installs software for the PB ?
Huh...? Huh? IS IT....?!?
Only if you can *boot* the powerbook.
In my case (and the case of the PB under question), installing the OS on a freshly formatted disk this would have simply produced a non-bootable Powerbook with a lot of stuff on the hard drive. We were discussing a Powerbook with *no* OS on it...
Other software can be installed as you point out, but if you have a functioning PB, just network the two computers together and install it that way.
