Other here probably know better, but I've never heard of anyone having to
do this.  Did you try installing 98SE without doing this first, and had
problems?  Also, is your version of 98SE a "full" version, or an upgrade
version?

I've never had any problems installing Win98SE, but I think I always do
the "clean" install, and have not tried installing it overtop of another
version.  I don't run GT Power BBS under it, though.
