If you have another Mac, this could work -- on the other mac, download the 10.4.11 combo updater, mount the dmg and copy the actual ".pkg" file (MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.pkg or something like that) onto an iPod or external hard drive etc.

On the MacBook, boot then from 10.4 install dvd, launch Terminal, then type:

/Volumes/MYDRIVE/usr/bin/open /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app /Volumes/IPODLOCATION/MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.pkg

This should launch the combo installer, and then you should be able to reboot it after the update is done.

Of if you have any friends who have a Mac, you could download that update on their place and then transfer it to your Mac over the hard drive, iPod etc.
