If you first re-format the hard-drive in the 2nd computer and re-boot it 
with CD-Rom access, you shouldn't have any problems installing a full 
version of W98 from the CD-- except that Bill Gates will bounce from the 
floor to the ceiling a few times.

If you try this with the new Win-XP, the MS Gestapo will show up at your 
door-step and whisk you off to a cave in Afghanistan...
