There were many automatic re-starts of the set-up and several blue screen call the administrator crashes. Anyway I copied the program files folder and the Pegasus and Agent installation folders from 98 to my second HDD and then just copied them to the new installation folders in 2k. That saved re-configuring the apps. I now have the necessities up and running on 2k.
Not as easy as it should have been, not as hard as it could have been. I just hope I can get more than 24 hrs of up time out of w2k.
