Windows 98 Installation on Ancient Machine

[Osyris]

OK This may sound odd and strange but I am trying to get Windows 98 to install on an old Compaz Prolinea 466.&nbsp;&nbsp;The computer is a 486 DX2 66MHz.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also meets all the minimum requirements set by Windows 98 and yet still when I run setup It fails the Processor speed check and says that the processor is too slow.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried the command line Setup /? with no help there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know a way to either disable the Processor check or any other way to install this?<br><br>Please E-Mail me at:<br><A HREF="mailtoJensen@Bresnanlink.net">DJensen@Bresnanlink.net</A>

The other way to install would be to install the hard drive in another PC, say a Pentium.&nbsp;&nbsp;Install 98 bare bones as you don't want to waste time customizing it to the Pentium.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once it is up and running, yank out the drive and reinstall back in the 486.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fire it up and then customize and cleanup all the devices and drivers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Should work! <p>Ian Cowie<br><a href=mailto:ianco@email.com>ianco@email.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>"If you see something THIS big, with eight legs, coming your way, let me know.
