Since what you're suggesting is illegal, I'll merely say how to do this in general :p

1: Download .iso file
2: Burn to DVD with Roxio/Nero/any other ISO burning app
3: Put DVD into computer needing installation.
 
I uderstand its illegal but I dont think it will be an issue besides I am new to apple os laws and stuff but technically I already purchase the software I mean with windows it doesnt matter as long as you have the license so if the feds show up at my door ill just show them my reciept after purchasing mac os leopard I have no intention of staying with tiger I just want to be able to use my mac I have used ubunto live runs pretty nice but I want to use mac os ;)
and I understand I can burn it but im just wondering will it install
Thanks

Dude, I can't even comprehend what you're saying. Want to run through your post, add some punctuation to help it make sense, and try again?

You know it is illegal and you want to do it anyway? Why should anyone here help you? Forum rules specifically say don't encourage piracy, so you shouldn't even be asking.
 
dont you have your restore discs, or the leopard instal disc?

edit: why use tiger if you have leopard

no its not that easy to install tiger on pc hardware. you say you downloaded tiger which means you got it illegally
