Maybe it all worked as Automatic updates when they were new, but there are so many issues when Manually installing Tiger Security Updates, this post will be a long one. To begin with, there are 4 kinds of Tiger OSX 10.4 ~ the PowerPC client kind, the intel-x86 client, the PowerPC Server, and the Universal Binary Server. Many of apple-dotcom's downloads are labeled wrong, don't fully describe their requirements, and/or can be applied to more than one kind of the Tiger OS.
TIGER PowerPC client has (at least) these 29 updates:
. 2005-006 > 10.4.1
. 2005-007 > 10.4.2
. 2005-008 > 10.4.2 delta
. 2005-009 > 10.4.3
. 2006-001 > 10.4.5
. 2006-002 > 10.4.5 combined
. 2006-003 > 10.4.6
. 2006-004 > 10.4.7
. 2006-007 > 10.4.8
. 2006-008 > 10.4.8 delta
. 2007-001 > 10.4.8 delta > QuickTime v7.1.3
. 2007-002 > 10.4.8 delta
. 2007-005 > 10.4.9
. 2007-006 > 10.4.9 delta or 10.4.10
. 2007-007 > 10.4.10
. 2007-009 > 10.4.11
. 2008-001 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-002 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-003 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-004 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-005 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-006 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-007 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2008-008 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2009-001 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2009-002 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2009-003 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2009-004 > 10.4.11 combined
. 2009-005 > 10.4.11 combined
Delta means that they have to be installed independent of one another for everything to take effect. Combined means for that particular point version of OSX, the update includes previous update(s). OSX 10.4.8 - the best of both worlds in reliability and performance - has 4 deltas but you'll probably only ever use 3 of them because 2007-001 can only be applied on QuickTime v7.1.3 and since 10.4.8 runs QT 7.1.5 which looks better than QT 7.1.3 then 2007-001 won't be needed. 2007-006 seems like malware to me, it slowed down my performance while later updates which should incorporate this one do not slow down, and 2007-006 is the only security update I've ever found which can install on more than one OSX point version, I think there's something not right with 2007-006 and it turns out the intel-x86 version of 2007-006 is now a broken dL-link on apple dotcom. And 2007-006 no longer can install on OSX 10.4.10 once 2007-007 is applied, so even more unusual behavior. OSX 10.4.11 only has to receive one (or none) security updates, that being however high you wish to take it : 2009-005 is the final update and it's required to get HTML5 support in Safari v4.
TIGER PowerPC Server has (at least) these 17 downloads:
2005-007, 2005-009, 2006-003, 2006-007, 2007-007, 2008-002, 2008-003, 2008-004, 2008-005, 2008-006, 2008-007, 2008-008, 2009-001, 2009-002, 2009-003, 2009-004, 2009-005
Almost half the updates are missing and that it because the client Security Updates with names not found here do in fact also apply to the Server OS. This isn't explicitly stated! There are 12 PowerPC client updates you should Duplicate and rename them for showing they can be applied to PPC Server :
2005-006, 2005-008, 2006-001, 2006-002, 2006-004, 2006-008, 2007-001, 2007-002, 2007-005, 2007-006, 2007-009, 2008-001
TIGER intel-x86 client has (at least) these 22 downloads:
2006-002, 2006-003, 2006-004, 2006-007, 2006-008, 2007-002, 2007-005, 2007-007, 2007-009, 2008-001, 2008-002, 2008-003, 2008-004, 2008-005, 2008-006, 2008-007, 2008-008, 2009-001, 2009-002, 2009-003, 2009-004, 2009-005
2007-001 the PowerPC download also runs on intel-x86 client and Universal Binary Server OSes, it is the only Security Update that I've found which can be installed on ALL FOUR KINDS of Tiger OSX (10.4.8) ~ and again it requires QuickTime be v7.1.3 - this update will never be needed if you don't use QT 7.1.3
Seven x86 security updates 2006-008 thru 2008-002 are poorly named "Univ" (without "Server" and) not "Intel", and for sanity sake you could rename them Intel. They do not install on PowerPC-only OSes like "Univ" means. 2007-007 is outright named wrong because when you run it its window says "Intel", and 2008-002 is named wrong too because it cannot install on Universal Server, only on x86 client. 2007-006 for Intel has gone missing/presently a broken dL-link on apple dotcom and might have been malware anyway, see above.
TIGER Universal Binary Server has (at least) these 15 updates:
2006-004, 2006-007, 2007-007, 2008-002, 2008-003, 2008-004, 2008-005, 2008-006, 2008-007, 2008-008, 2009-001, 2009-002, 2009-003, 2009-004, 2009-005
UBS started with OSX 10.4.7 so it has fewer Tiger updates. 2006-004 is completely named wrong, it is a pkg 2746788 bytes big and is missing both Server and Univ from its supplied name. 2007-001 when taken from the PowerPC set can also run here on UBS 10.4.8 as long as there's QuickTime 7.1.3 ~ the update 2007-006 is still missing so be it, and the following 5 Security Updates when copied/renamed from the x86 client set also run on Universal Binary Server :
2006-008, 2007-002, 2007-005, 2007-009, 2008-001
