Not unless your machine is one of those mentioned. See
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784 > for details. If your
unnamed machne has a sloppy OS 9.2, then upgrade it. See
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288> for updates; those are
free. BTW, it's illegal to use someone else's install disk on your machine. You
need to purchase the full retail versions.
