Have you tried double-clicking the "Double click here to install Tiger" icon on the DVD?
Oh and welcome to the forums!

Check for scratches on the disk, the bootable section may be damaged...

That "?" means it can't find a bootable disk. I don't mean to be condescending, but are you sure this is a Tiger Install DVD, and not an "extra features" disk?
