Lo and behold the durn thing installed 98 on a 400MB hard drive with 16MB ram and an old 486 66mhz processor. Took two hours. I didn't think that was supposed to work. It is slow but leads me to believe that I can install a small linux OS on it now. Well, maybe I will just leave it to be used by the grandkids. Thanks again for all the help, I don't like throwing things out if they can still function or have a purpose. -- Dennis M.
