SUCCESS!!
i've succeeded in installing this on my early 2008 2.8ghz imac 24"!!
let me share with you how this was accomplished as it was something i was trying to do for the last few years!
-download this onto a snow leopard or leopard mac
-convert this 10.4.4 install dvd to read/write with disk utility
-opened up /system/installation/packages folder and then right click "osInstall.pkg" and reveal "package contents"
-drag osinstall.dist file to textedit) and search for "imac4,1"and change any occurrence of "imac4,1" to match your target machine. I changed that to imac8,1 which is what my imac is.
-plug in a firewire or usb external drive reformat & REPARITION ensuring that it was in GUIID partition type (mac intel bootable requirement) if its already in GUID partition type then you dont need to reformat but reformatting is a safe way to ensure a clean filesystem
-run the installer + select the usb or firewire drive and unchecked all the extra stuff under "Customize" so it doesnt prompt u for "disc 2"
-download the combo update for 10.4.11 *intel* and run it, targetting the external drive
-go to startup preferences BOOM theres my intel 10.4.11 disk! restart + bam! TIGER on 2008 imac!!
you are now free to clone this usb drive to a partition on your imac's internal drive!!
