If I restore the Kalyway DVD to an External Hard Drive in Tiger can I install Chameleon from Tiger as well? And then boot from the USB hard drive and install onto another Hard Drive?

You can do more than just that... you can recreate it to your liking. But yes... you can use a USB HD to install if it is properly restored and the bootloaders work correctly.

or you can do what I did and use a retail disc and Disk Utility to restore it to a GUID partitioned flash drive... then use munky's method to install RETAIL to your Hackintosh: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127330

Enjoy Retail (if you dare)

Awesome! Thanks for the great advice! I will give it a go tonight after work. I had problems booting from an IDE DVD drive so I hope this will do the trick.

Yes, i think @nfoav8or explained it all and there is nothing more i can add except that it is also my favourite method. One partition of 10gigs on USB drive with osx installed and the rest is just fat32 used for everyday work, copying and transfering files, movies. Bootable usb is used to install osx on the main drive. When something needs to be repaired you can boot it and fix your main system instead of booting with dvd. IMHO, usb hdd can help really a lot. Minimal, for example 10gb partition, is not big at all and bootable and installed osx can just sit there.
Regards mate!

Well, I have a 160GB laptop hard drive that I put into an external USB case when my laptop died on me. I also have a 50GB IDE Hard drive that I might play around with but my main goal is to get it onto my 300GB SATA to dual boot it with VIsta (yes, I like Vista so shoot me). I might also want to have a working copy on the external so that I can boot into Leopard from a couple of other PCs that I use daily. Hopefully this will work for me. Otherwise, I might try to patch Kalyway 10.5.2 with the Jmicron fix from Zef through the Windows GUI. We'll see.

My recommendation with the external HD being able to boot on multiple PCs is to use that method from above to edit the EFI partition on a GUID partitioned hard drive to include all the extensions needed to boot each PC. Then you'd be able to use a retail install (which could also be booted from a real mac).

Otherwise you could just install via kalyway and ensure (like above) that all the necessary extensions are installed for every PC you will use.
