The installer should, unless something's changed recently.  I used to use
installer 1.0 on an external hard drive because it's faster than
installing with the PB145, then just disconnect the drive and patch it
into the laptop.  Worked like a charm.  (Or did you mean the booter?)

If you want to run something on the 7600, look into MkLinux or linuxpmac.
