Backup everything of importance-- docs, settings and etc to a safe media
like tape or CD.

Download the three ISO images and burn them to CD's;
shrike-i386-disc1.iso, shrike-i386-disc2.iso and shrike-i386-disc3.iso

Install RHL9 as a fresh new install do not upgrade, to many changes from
RHL7 to RHL9 to make the upgrade worthwhile.
