How to install OS X Jaguar on a USB Stick?

I was wondering how I could install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. I have upgraded my iMac G3 to OS X Tiger and I don't want to partition the hard-drive because it is a small hard drive. So I want to install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. But when I choose my USB Stick as the destanation it says that it can only install OS X onto a bootable USB stick! Someone please help!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), G3 Indigo Early 2001

Those older machines cannot boot from a USB device. Only from internal or Firewire. If you could boot from a USB device, then you would first need to prep the USB stick by partitioning and formatting it for OS X using Disk Utility.
