My father just told me that I need install Win98 on his computer, because it is a minimum requirement for running DSL. He's got an old Gateway (circa 1996) with a Pentium Pro 200Mhz processor, 64MB of RAM, STB Virge VX 4MB graphcs card, 3.2GB harddrive, and a 12x Mitsumi CD-ROM. I'm planning on just formatting his harddrive and installing the full edition of Win98. Does Win98's setup program handle the FAT16 to FAT32 conversion? Is there anything else I need to know about how to do this? I think his machine can handle Win98. Eventually, I'll build a new machine for him and put Win2K on it, but I don't have the time to do that right now.
