[X-Newbies] Upgrading to Tiger (finally!)

I'm finally upgrading my G4/533 to Tiger and have several questions 
before I do:
1. I don't have a DVD drive so I'm going to use my son's Macbook to 
help install. I'm confused though about the Target Disk mode. When I 
connect the two computers, which one should be started up in Target 
Disk mode - the G4 or the Macbook? Should they be connected while both 
shut down? Should one of them be started up before the other one? Any 
good online guides for this?
2. Although I know it's probably best to wipe the drive and do a clean 
install, I'd prefer not to do that. When I upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2, 
I believe I did an "Archive and Install". Any problems doing that with 
this upgrade? I do have a fresh backup in case anything goes wrong and 
have just run DiskWarrior so my current system should be in good shape.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. And happy Thanksgiving to all 
the US folks on the list.
