Why couldn't you...

Just copy all the loops to the external drive, and then make an alias of that folder and put it back into where the main app is?

Seems easier than going through all that stuff...:)

If you go to VersionTracker and search for Dhos_Garage, you will find a tool that will do all the work of installing GarageBand on another drive.

I actually done that after I installed GarageBand ... except I used a Symlink instead of an Alias. I'm not sure if an Alias would work but GarageBand did use the contents from the external drive. The actual program was on the primary harddrive but the light on the external hard drive was going off so I knew it was pulling assetts from the external instead of looking for them on the internal.

Although, if you have less than 1.2GB of hard drive space before installing GarageBand, my post wouldn't be of help. That's where MacFandango's hint comes in if you have less than 1.2 GB of hard drive space on the bootable hard drive. So I guess his hint is useful for that purpose.
