Edit 12/25/15 - I was able to use the Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal Install - ISO CD Image.
This iMac doesn't have a CD-RW drive, and I don't have another Mac with a CD-RW, so I had to use TransMac to burn the CD on Windows. Took several attempts until I discovered the "use alternate burning method" option. Once I had a good CD, the install was smooth and easy. DieHard, thank you so much for making this available!

I've downloaded "Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal (Just Format & Drag files to Install) - Self Extracting" to my iMac G3, 500mhz, Summer 2000, 10.2.8. What do I do next? Here's what shows on my desktop:
-Untitled - startup disk
-freshDragInstall.img.sitx
-frshDrag.img
-frshDrag (sort of an external drive icon)
My goal is to run OS 9. I don't need to retain 10.2.8.
I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, but I'm new to Macs and haven't been able to figure out the next step. Thanks for any help you can give.
