I installed 98 after melting my P200MMX in the laptop. I just wanted to get
it up to 166. It should have worked but I didn't know the core voltage was
too high. I thought it was just a cooling problem and tried to fix it by
stuffing the heatsink with thermal paste. I ended up buying a p166 with my
birthday money and that will do 166 easy. So now I have bindows 98 on it. I
want to put on mandrake 7.1 but the hard drive is only 1 gig. I need 98 for
school. They insist I use a popular word processor and that means word. Soon
as I get enough for a bigger drive its getting linux.
