Peter, I understand the feeling. I have an older Dell 400 mhz Celeron which I torture regularly with all manner of installs from Windows to Unix :)

Usually it is no problem.

This Thinkpad can be booted from the cd so you should have no problem installing win98 this way. If it won't boot from the cd, then press F1 when starting the laptop to enter the BIOS and make the change there.

This page http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/accessories/thinkpad/index.html?qse.600e# may be useful once win98 is installed.

What Thinkpad is this Peter? The specific model is required.

64 mb of memory and win 2000 is too slow, 98 will suffice much better.
