I couldn't find this anywhere in the hints and, in fact, I can't believe I never tried it until now. I needed to reinstall Tiger on a drive, but couldn't spare a reboot on any machine so I figured I'd look for the installer package on the DVD.
It turns out (I successfully tested this) you can just run the OSInstall.mpkg located in /System -> Installation -> Packages on the DVD.
Of course, this never worked under earlier versions of the OS, as the installer was split among multiple discs (and I'd assume that's still true for the CD replacement disc set for the Tiger Install Discs).
I just saved myself about a half hour of would-be wasted time.
