Hi,

Finally I have Windows 98 installed at work.  Would the same process work
with win98?

Thanks for this very clear explanation on how to perform this task.  Just a
bit of clarification.

Do I assume that I should start from a clean hard disk?
Does it matter which version of DRDOS is being used?
