  1. What I meant was that I didnt want IE upgraded regardless of its currently installed version.  Its just that I dont want to bother wasting disk space upgrading software I dont use.  I guess there would be some cases that I would still want IE updated due to its intergration into the OS.  Im not positive but didnt the IE 6 upgrade also force the user to install Outlook?... which also another program that I do not use.  Other than that, does the patch still work ok with a 98lite chubby install?

    ssmokee,

    SP -doesn't- touch any IE file, if you have IE 6.0 or 5.5.

    If you have IE 5.0, it -only- installs/upgrades some IE 5.0 files.

    98lite keeps some IE files on the system. If these files are from IE 5.0, SP only upgrades these files. It never installs any new file, if you don't have related software.

    Version 2.0 still works with 98lite Chubby, and it will probably work with Sleek, too.

  2. What IE updates are being bundled in the beta SP2?  Im just curious because if the full IE 6.0 update is being included, I would personally prefer that it be optional.

    It contains only IE 5.0 updates. However, installer checks the version number of the files, so if you have newer IE, it doesn't copy any of these files.

  4. At this time Windows 98 / 98 SE does not natively support 137GB drives. However, there are some 3rd party utilities that will allow you to see the full capacity of the drive once the operating system has been installed (no support for installing to a full size partition).

    Software Driver Updates (800 Series Intel Chipsets Only)

    The Intel Application Accelerator (IAA) adds 48-bit LBA support for the 800 series Intel chipsets.

    Software Driver Updates (Non-Intel Chipsets)

    VIA has drivers which support 48-bit LBA for their chipsets.

    Scandisk

    The version of Scandisk that comes with Windows 98 / 98 SE does not support partitions larger than 137 GB.

  5. If you want a different logo for your Windows 98/98 SE system, you can use these attached logos.

    First logo was made by AngelBlue01, and it is a modified version of original Windows 98 boot logo. It adds "Second Edition" label.

    Second logo was made by Aleksandar Dlabac, and it is a Windows XP-like boot logo.

    Both logos are animated.

    For installing, only you need copy LOGO.SYS into your root (C:\) directory. For uninstalling, simply delete LOGO.SYS.
