If you have a PowerPC mac just put in your restore disc and there will be a package to install classic. If you are on an Intel mac there is not classic for you.

Yes, he is right... I should clarify that you need to boot from the cd, and uncheck all the boxes except for the "Classic OS 9" box. This will ensure that only classic is installed and that none of your other applications are altered in any way.

Im almost 100% sure you don't need to boot from the CD. When I did it there was just a package that came up with you incerted the CD, I clicked it and it installed. I just needed to reboot after.

EDIT: Here's a picture.
