Clamshell iBook, using ubuntu to install Tiger

I have a clamshell iBook 300 mhz with only 1 usb drive
and cd drive.  I want to install Tiger on the
clamshell but the Tiger install is a DVD.  Is it
possible to do the following?

1) Boot from the ubuntu live cd
2) Plug in my iPod with a custom tiger installer
3) Install Tiger on the hard drive.

Right now the iBook has OS 9 and I just want to get
Tiger on as painless as possible.  I already tried to
boot directly from the USB iPod but the iBook will not
recognize the iPod is connected when booting up or
running in os 9.  However it does recognize my 256mb
flash drive so the USB port is working. 

Thank you for your time and any help you can provide!!
 I am open to anyway to get Tiger on the iBook.
