If only I knew how to do that.. CD-Images?? the RD9 CDs I have are all
files..
Besides, our network is mainly Windows.. So... one less option for me..

I haven't done exactly this, but there are instructions in the README or
RELEASE-NOTES. Basically you copy the CDs into a partition on the
disk and then boot from one of the images in the image directory on the
first CD (make a set of floppies or a boot CD as appropriate).
If you have two machines and a network you can do what I do a lot: put
the CD images in an NFS-exported directory on the second machine and
then boot off the CD boot image and do and NFS install. I do it a lot
because it is very much quicker than installing off CDs, not least
because you don't go for lunch and have the "please insert next CD" box
pop up within minutes of you leaving the room.
