It's true IE4 is not that bad, with the booting from DOS thing, yes might be
hard to recover if any from DOS installation has to be done... If you do a
Win98 Boot Disk, when you boot it will ask you if you want CD ROM support
and from that boot disk you can reinstall W98 from CD ROM and also see the
FAT32 Partitions.. I was also afraid but by having more machines I got into
playing with it and I found out it is true its not that bad and in some way
is a little faster surfing web pages........
I guess they fixed the limitations they use to have in W95 at the register.
I remember with W95 you could adjust in your registry a couple of setting to
have your TCP/IP orotocol run faster, I didn';t heve to do this with W98 and
it runs OK..... In quotes "just OK" not more than that.... :)

BTW3 last note about FAT32. Fortunately I've 2 partition on my HD
1 with programs and the other with data (really much important).
Of course I couldn't refrain myself to "optimize" the system.
Well W98 converted 1 of my partition to FAT98... since as I said
something went wrong... I've started my computer in DOS (true real
old DOS from floppy)... actually I wasn't unable to see the FAT32
partition.
Now I have an upgrade of W98... What does it happen to your
FAT32 partition if you have to reinstall W98 from DOS???
Of course I don't want to try!!!
Maybe the DOS cd driver will let you read the W98 CD and the
installation procedure will see the HD even if it is FAT32 but who
knows... anyway you'll have to reinstall W98 to read your data!!!
On my PII 233, Ultra DMA HD, CD 24x it takes an hour!!!
Good luck and have fun.
