Red face DVD Drive Sharing

Hi, I have an iMac Intel and iMac G5. I'd like to install Tiger on the G5, however the DVD drive on that machine doesn't work. Is there some way I can access the drive on my Intel machine to carry out this installation? Will the new Leopard DVD Sharing feature allow me to do this? When I try to access the contents of the install disk (inserted in the Intel machine) from the G5, I get the same message whether or not this preference is checked:

'The application "Install Mac OS X" cannot be used from this disk. To install Mac OS X, please use the application provided on the Mac OS X installation disk.'

Thanks,
Dunc
