Typically folks do this via "Clamshell Mode". Here's a link to explain:

Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

The one thing I'm not sure of is if there is a minimum OS version requirement. The Apple article I linked above does not mention a minimum OS requirement...so maybe you have to give it a try to see if it will work with OS 10.3.

Give Insomniax a go. Just dont forget that you have it running if you go to move your iBook later after your done with it . . .

Cheers
