P.S. If the Tiger upgrade disc is the same as the ones for Panther and Jaguar, there's a way to make a copy of the disc that doesn't require a previous version to be installed. On Jag and Panther upgrade discs, there was a hidden file called "CheckForOSX", and deleting it and then burning a new copy would make it stop checking! Note also that the upgrade discs always give you the option of doing an "erase and install", which gives you an identical result to using the full installer on a newly-erased disk.
