Hey folks, got me an Intel Mac Mini, specs over on the left, preface, I upgraded the internal HD in the Mini, then put the original 60Gb HD in a USB external enclosure, put Leopard n stuff onto the internal, here's the question is.....

Can I do a system restore to the External drive, sort of like dual boot Mac OS X, Leopard/WinXP on the internal main drive, Tiger on the external ? Just curious !

it is possible to install tiger to an external and boot from it. There is info on how to do that here.
