Yes, use either NoSleep (never got it to work myself, but it might work for you) or another program which lets you keep your computer from sleeping when the lid is shut or when it should go to sleep automaticalle, but i can't remember what it is called...
There was an apple extension way back when that kept laptops from sleeping when installing a OS. It was called Insomnia.
is that what it does? yeah, it's on almost all newer mac os install cd's in the system folder (definatly OS9)
BTW, i remembered waht that program was! KisMAC (OSX app) is a Wi-FI smiffer and has an option to stop powerbooks going to sleep whilre it is open, if you have airport, this should work too
