Don't ;-}
The easiest way by far, is to find anyone that has Win98 or 98Se installed .
Have them make you a startup disk .
It has everything set up for CDROM support , unlike the totally useless Win 95 startup disk.
If you have enough room on your HD ,
copy all the cabs etc from the Win98 directory on the Cd to
the same directory that you make on the HD .
Install from the HD.
you will never need the Win 98 Cd again.
Anyone know if the TP 380 supports Fat 32 with Hibernation ??
