10/1    (Can someone please re-post any response?  I think I'll start running
        my own motd auto-archive from now on.)
        What's the minimum CPU requirement for Win98 (ignoring speed)?  I have
        a Pentium-something 133MHz machine that has been running Win95 fine.
        But when I re-formatted the disk and tried to install Win98, it always
        hangs at about the same point during the installation process when it's
        copying lots of files from the CD.  I'm guessing it's trying to execute
        some instruction that's not supported by the processor.
        \_ have you tried running the install files directly from the HD?  I've
           installed Win98 on Pentiums before with no problems.
           \_ You mean copying the whole CD to the HD, then running
              installation without the CD?  No I haven't tried that.  I don't
              know if the HD has enough space to do this.  But I can try.  But
              how do I copy all the files from the CD when I don't have
              anything to boot from?  And why does installing from the HD make
              a difference anyway?

11/12   Dual boot question:  I had a hard drive set up with dual boot.
        XP and Linux.  I had problems with the Windows partition.
        I got a new hard drive.  I connected the new hard drive and set it
        as the slave drive.  I went into setup and set it to boot from the
        slave drive (the new one).  I then reinstalled XP on the new drive.
        Oops.  My boot loader on the original drive got overwritten.  The

11/2    Thinking about getting a CD writer. Is it necessary to get a read
        only CD player and a writer, or can I just use one CD writer w/
        a lot of HD space?
        \_ You can get away with one CD player. However, if you ever wanna
           make CD-to-CD copies, having a CD-ROM and a CD-R makes it a lot
           simplier. of course, you can still do it with just a CD-R, but
