Yep, raw windows without apps., fixpacks, utilities, ect.
Add four days for all that stuff in Win 98.

ALL of them yes and though I didn't time it it seemed about
the 40 minutes the interactive interface specified, perhaps
a tad under.

Couple of minutes to setup NNTP, SMTP, POP, a couple of
browsers and the dialer from memory.
Dual boot and power management works flawlesslessly.

Heck everything appears to work flawlessly.

All in all an easier install than Windows any day of the week :-)

It doesn't like my internal modem which is to be expected
nor the soundcard, it's a dual use Rockwell software deal :-(

Picked right up on the external modem though and anticipate
the sound card will be recognized and setup
when I slap the Turtle Beach card in there.

Next month I buy an external hardware 56K modem :-)
