I've just installed Win2kPro. Anyone know how to reboot to MS-DOS? Apparently MS decided to remove that neat option from the Shutdown menu.

To be more exact, I'm trying to install Win98 over a Win2kPro installation. When I try to run setup, the program informs me that I need to boot MS-DOS mode and then run setup. [sig]<p>Russ<br><a href=mailto:bobbitts@hotmail.com>bobbitts@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= is in</a><br>[/sig]
 
Ah, nevermind, I got it. Apparently, booting to DOS really doesn't make sense in Win2k ... In any case, I used my Win98 boot disk to delete the partition with fdisk and can now install Win98.
