Well since "Linux" is only up to 2.4.xx at the present time you
might get more help if you told up which distro you have.

ie. Redhat, Slackware, Mandrake

All of which, and possibly others too, have a 9.0 release.

Hmmm, my linux is not that old and it's 2.4.X for Mandrake 9.1

Maybe the guide is where you bought it. How about the vendor's site.
Example: For Redhat/Pink Tie

Ok, We just call it redhat-9.0.

Anyways, do you have free disk space to install it into?
If not you need to make some free disk space so redhat can make a
partition on it. By free disk space I don't mean room in you
windows partition I mean basically a partition you can delete and
free disk space for redhat to install into.

I don't use windows so you will have to do the partition resizing
yourself. There are several partitioning tools available for free
that can resize NTFS filesystem partitions if you don't want to
buy one.

You might find one here:

No, it's RedHat Linux 9. There is no "9.0" on it. It really should have
been called 8.1, based on its overall similarity to 8.0, but RedHat had
learned harshly that their "x.0" releases were used for testing, their
"x.1" releases weren't worth much, but their "x.2" or later releases of
a particular series were better and more stable and the ones that people
actually used....

I know about their x.0 and x.1 releases. That's why I now use
Slackware.
Just curious but does redhat release anything but x.0 releases
anymore?
