How do I get AppleWorks off the iBook install CD?

My friend has the educators' OS X.2 installed (fresh install) on her iBook 600, and has now decided that she wants AppleWorks too even though she already has Office. Something to do with making flash cards. She has the original Apple software restore disks. Can I tell her just to run those or are they gonna erase everything she has from OS X.2 on there now?

I assume that Pacifist wouldn't be useful in this situation because they're not packages.

Unfortunately, I don't have the iBook with me to fiddle with myself. And I definitely don't want to run over to her place to do an X.1 reformat and X.2 update.

I dont think its possible to rip files off of Restore CDs. I found out I needed to have os9 installed to run a CD for a course I am taking this semester, and am pretty much up a creek b/c I only have restore CDs

I know it's not, cause I lost my liscense for Art Directors tool kit and The with the "restore" disk you have to either install all or none. I have to wait till they update their website to access the apple bundle now..

can't you dig around the restor CD's? It should just be in one of the folders.

In addition to the restore CDs, there may be separate CDs for installation of OS 9, OS X and the bundled programs, including AppleWorks. I installed AppleWorks from one of these on a summer 2002 iBook the other day.
