If I remember correctly if you use a PB in scsi mode it shows up as a disk attached to that mac. When you use an installer on that disk , Then (this is the part that I think so someone correct me if I am wrong) The installer will install the required software for the Mac desktop and not the powerbook.

Picked the target, selected custom install, picked the 'all' option and started. The install process updated the Apple Disk Drivers, and installed the OS.
He said he picked the 'all' option - hence a universal install. When you do that, you install all the options for all the computers, so the installed System Folder should boot ANYTHING that can run that version of the OS.
Of course, your method works well and is more-or-less foolproof.
