I am inclined to think - as Terence suggests -  that it is just a  
space issue.
You need 3Gb free to install, it is recommended that you always have  
10% of your hard disk free anyway.
Activity Monitor might show you how much hard disk is being used for  
virtual memory.
It can be 3 to 6 Gb.
So 2.4 Gb free is probably not enough.

If you have an external hard disk, I would copy any important stuff  
to it using Carbon Copy Cloner or similar, then low-level format your  
internal hard disk and start the Tiger install from there.

In my view, ALWAYS best to start with a clean disk, if you get a  
machine from elsewhere.

keep us posted on your progress.....
