Can I safely install Tiger on my FireWire drive?
Our role as ADC Select Members is to be the Guinea Pigs. :o)
Since we can't disclose any details about upcoming Apple products, I would just say that "safe" is a very relative term for all pre-release software.
This may be more work for you, but here's what I do to get the closest "real-world" environment for testing. Leaving out the gory details, I backup my primary drives to an external firewire drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner), then repartition my primary drive (Al-PB 15", 80GB) so I have room for my original stuff from the backup (which I Carbon Copy Clone back), AND a partition for any pre-release OS that I may or may not have. :-) This way, when I test the pre-release stuff, it'll be a more real-world configuration. Keeping in mind, that I could potentially lose my entire primary hard drive. But I've got that backed up, and keep it backed up via rsync.
Anyway, I'm sure others may have better ideas on this, but that's my 2 kopeks.

I'd like to install Tiger & Xcode v2 onto a firewire drive so that I can
(1) isolate the pre-release stuff away from my primary machines, and (2)
be able to take Tiger between my desktop & laptop.
BUT... in the past I've seen on MacFixIt people saying troublesome
things about installing the OS with FireWire in the loop.
Can I safely install Tiger on my FireWire drive?
Is there a mo' betta list to ask this question?
