Guys here is where I am at...

Initially I used iBoot to boot a pre patched kernel (10.0.0) and installed 10.6.0 on OSXSL. I then used time capsule to back it up.

Once I was happy with it, I partitioned the OCZ Agility SSD and restored OSXSL on it.

Now heres the fun part...

I found the guide on here for X58 10.6.2

I decided to try to install 10.6.2 on my old 150GB partition and it worked. Its hardened (at least for me).

I have also backed this up to the OSXSL backups partition.

Question is...

I now want my new 10.6.2 to live the rest of its life on the OCZ 60Gb SSD.

Can I boot iBoot, run the 10.6.2 retail, and do a successful restore of what Time Capsule has for my 10.6.2 install? Or do I need to use a different boot method? Is it safe to assume as long as I am in the installer I can do a successful restore from Disk Utility?
