I'm always very surprised to see ANYONE having any trepidation about  
this. It's not rocket science -- hell, it's not even changing a  
lightbulb.

1. Repair permissions.
2. Make a bootable backup of your drive to an external drive or other  
partition.
3. Follow the directions outlined on the Tiger CD. Choose update,  
archive & install if you'd like a "clean" system with your custom  
settings, or "erase and install" if you'd like to start all over.
4. After installation, the system will reboot.
5. Enjoy.

How hard is this??
