Are the MacBook installation discs (for Tiger) exactly the same as for the iMac? I need to use MacBook installation discs, but I don't want to mess anything up involving drivers and that.

the iMac uses a ATi x1600 while the Macbook uses the GMA 950 might be the only difference. If they are both Intel based, it should work but I'm not 100% sure.

why would the imac dvd (or vice versa) have drivers for a video card that will never have? O.o

Well, when you purchase Tiger alone, they don't ask what computer model you have, so I just assumed all drivers were included.

it won't work because it is an iBook G4 DVD, if it was retail it would work fine.
You can actually mod an image of OEM DVDs to work with your iMac.

I have a quick question for you anatha: Can Tiger run on AMD?

And, it's a MacBook DVD, not iBook G4!

We're talking a Core Duo iMac, here, right?

Err, no. We're talking about PCs with AMD processors running Mac (like a Dell, HP, etc).

Edit: At first we were. Then, I asked about AMD and Tiger.

sorry for not putting that in my sig but i am running osx86 and not the retail mac.

i have tried to look at both of these links with this reply:

"The topic or post you requested does not exist"

IIsi; Quad 650; G3; G5; ibook; MacBook Pro 15

just see this thread, of course Tiger can run on AMD, even the AMD dual core but this need some fixes
