I've gone carefully through the install procedures using the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp disks and it is clear that Windows 98 takes the entire disk. It left a mere 2 Meg for the install! ha. It was difficult to determine because instead of showing disk space in Mb, it showed it in "ST" and I had to cycle through the different units to get info I could interpret easily. I looked at the FIPS program info after I downloaded it, but it looks like a nightmare, full of places to go wrong and destroy my comp. All in all, i've decided the best thing to do would be to buy a new disk and install directly to it, leaving my windows disk completely alone. Thanks again.
