I've done a similar upgrae on a TiBook. The most difficult part IMO is
the hardware: getting that small disk inside of the TiBook without
breaking neither 'book nor disk :-)
The software side shouldn't be a problem: just follow the usual
instructions for reinstalling verything.
Or, do as I have done: connect both disks to another computer (needs
3,5" - 2,5" adapter), redo partitions (at least some, like MacOS)
exactly the same size as before, and dd your data over from the odld to
the new disk.
Cheers
