I will have to disagree, when you boot a computer in target mode, the dvd will also be shared if there is a cd/DVD in there, and can be used to install Tiger on an non-dvd computer. I know because I have just installed Tiger on an iBook G3 using target mode on my iBook G4.

Steps I'd try (based on things I've read in other places)

Start another Mac on your network in target disk mode (if possible).
Plug that mac into your WS via firewire
Mount the DVD in a DVD drive on that target disk booted Mac


This won't work for two reasons:

1) Systems mounted via FWTDM ONLY make their HDD available.

2) You need to reboot from the DVD to run the install.
