a faster CPU and more ram help. my p2-400 with 64 megs took around a minute i think, now my p3-600 with 128 is noticeably faster in bootup...

I'm using a sblive! value at this very moment, I don't have liveware installed, just the bare drivers, and it works beautifully

the new 3.75 drivers actually work on my box, surprisingly. i had a lot of trouble just getting 3.69 to install properly and not crash my computer at bootup. anywho, it's nice to have working drivers, although in Q3A, my swapfile needs to be resized which sucks, oh well, more ram for me on the 1st.

Ok, this may help people who already have win2k installed, want to install 98, and don't have a bootable win2k cd [like me]. I used a win98 boot disc to go through the windows98 installation process. Since that will wreck your boot.ini file, go to http://www.winimage.com and go to the 'bootpart' page. download and install bootpart, reboot to dos [as you should be in 98 at the moment], go to the bootpart dir, and type this.... bootpart winnt boot:c: as it says there. this will restore win2k's OS loader and thus, you can choose to load 98 or win2k on startup.
