Other than backing up the DVD across several CDs, then piecing it  
back together on his hard drive, I don't know of any way to do it. If  
you have a Firewire hard drive around that you could create a copy  
on, that would be better.

I sent Apple some feedback on this. In the old days, when we  
transitioned from floppies to CDs, Apple included all the necessary  
floppy disk images on the CD so the user could make their own  
installation floppies. IMO they really should have done the  
equivalent for Tiger, making it possible for users to burn their own  
installation CDs.
