New MacBooks and Tiger install

Hi all

I've run into a slight problem. I have two new MacBooks (black & White) which have shipped with Leopard, not a problem for me but the users want them rolled back to Tiger!
I've tried several discs and none of them seem to work. I have tried two different sets of MacBook Tiger discs (10.4.8 & 10.4.9) but my original Tiger retails disc is pre Intel.
When I boot to the discs and attempt to start the install process I get an error, the disc cannot be used on this computer...... does anyone know how I can round this or even what revision of discs to use?!

I'm stuck at the mo!

Thanks

The Macs will support only versions of OS X they were shipped with, or later.

So there isn't anything you can do to get it installed.

I thought as much... they'll just have to work with Leopard!

Thank you.
