I'm being a good beta tester. This machine is a 380MHz K6 with only 32MB of RAM, so Win2K is out of the question for now.

>>>Well, now, hold on there. I have no testament as to how fun that will be. I know very little about Millenium, but if it can be held to Win2K like Win98 can be held to NT4, I'm not jealous of you. Is this for your machine?

The laptop came with Win98 installed on it- I booted from the Win2K CD and the setup process brought me to a screen that showed the existing partitions and asked what I wanted to do. Deleted the Fat32 partition, created a new 2G sys partition for Win2K, one other partition using the rest of the drive space. Instructed to install on the 2G partition, and away we went. In roughly 30 minutes, the machine was up and running, all hardware working, all drivers installed and configured.

>>>>>It was absolutely the most painless OS install I have ever experienced. I had slated a whole day for getting this laptop set up, and I am already finished (VS 6.0 enterprise SP3, MSDN, Office 2K, and a bunch of other stuff). The whole process took only about 3 hours.

>>>>>For anybody that has not yet gotten to install Win 2K, I highly recommend you get your hands on a copy. Its... beautiful. (sniff, sniff).
