Pismo Question

I hava a Pismo running 10.4.11 and a ibook g4 with a new hard drive. I want to put the hard drive in an external enclosure and use Carbon Copy to clone my Pismo operating system to the ibook. My question is will the operating system in any way be disabled or scaled down to Pismo standards? Or will the os be fully usable in the ibook? I have a commercial Tiger disk so I can install Tiger by disk but I don't think it will be full 10.4.11. In time I will install Leopard but in the meantime Tiger will have to do. Is there anything I need to know or do using this method? Thanks.

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

The Pismo and the G4 iBook are vastly different hardware wise so trying to clone would be a disaster. By all means use the Tiger disk to install 10.4 on the iBook and then download the 10.4.11 combo update that is free from Apple.
