    Win98 Updates get 'em while you can?

    How would you go about saving all the Windows 98 updates to a cd? I installed Win98 all important updates while I still was on DSL. Now that I am unemployed and can't afford hi speed internet it would be a real drag if I ever have to reinstall. Seems like it would take really long time to DL...

    No Mouse needed need to get rid of pointer

    Got an old Win98 machine, 200MMX 128MB RAM, I only use it for watching TV.

    Installation of XP Pro

    A few years ago I learned {finally} the best way to install Win 98 was to copy the Win98 folder from the CD to the C drive and then run setup.exe from the hard drive. Is there a similar procedure for loading XP Pro? What folder contains the setup?

    OK to leave PC On All The Time?
