Why I dont use XP
Heru:
Actually IE takes up around 30 megs of space. Still not a whole lot, but it's annoying. And you can't remove it from XP without serious side effects.
IMO if you're going to use a version of Windows at all, use Windows 2000, and only apply SP1. If you apply SP2, you will not be able to remove IE without serious side effects.

I wasn't. That dog your speaking of is only found when you do search and can be turned off as easy as this: Right click and hit hide. But I guess thats too hard for you. Whatever animated chars in XP are not nearly as gay as the Mac Face. *shudder*.

Hit add/remove Windows Components. Wow that was tough.

Mine came with only the Recycle Bin at the very bottom right corner. You bought the sick defaced version that is pre-loaded with horse shit that the OEM provides. And also, I have lots of desktop icons on my linux machine that came default like Home and around 5 SuSE icons.

I find this very, very, very hard to beleive, You must have "search" under the startup folder, and God knows why someone put it there.

Please, please DONT!

Is 2 buttons really that hard to remember? Seems alot easier than the bajillion linux commands you are required to type in to even use the machine.
Oh and for "mother fucking talking dog", KDE has that god awful dragon that pisses me off every time I see his fuckin' neck tie with a big fat K on it.
WORK IT ALL OFF

You should be able to delete the "unrecognized" partition (which is NTFS) during the Win98 install, or with a boot disk as you originally mentioned.

the win98 install program doesnt have any kind of partition tool or anything. If you dont have a fat with enough space it just simply aborts the install. Even if you do have enough space 7 times outta 10 it will say that you dont have enough space and abort. I tried to isntall win98 on another computer with a 6 Gig HD and it said that there wasnt enough space. I re-partitioned it at least 6 times to try and get it to work, but it didnt.
You have to use fdisk off the strtup disk to remove the NTFS partition (in FDISK its called 'unrecognized') and create a new windows partition (the only one fdisk can create is vfat).

Mine does, but I created my own Win98 install CD. I forgot that the retail version doesn't (well, at least I'm not going to dig it out to look at any rate).
