PS. You can install win NT and 98 on the same computer, This allows you to
not have to worry if you have a stray program that wont work on NT (very
rare). There is a lot of information on the dual boot option on the
microsoft web site as well as on the net.
With this option you select the OS you want to use from a menu when you
restart. You can also run Win98 NT and Linux on the same box with this
setup.
Good Luck.
