That's all I ever used back in the day when I ran Win98. I ran it on a Toshiba PII-300 and a Dell PIII-600 notebook. It's the only way to go, as far as I'm concerned. There's something about getting rid of all the intgrated IE crap that makes 98lite more stable. Even if you want to use IE, just install it later as "stand-alone". It's getiing rid of the tight integration that's the secret. It also saves a lot of room on your HDD, depending how you have it configured.

Two big "Thumbs Up" from me. 98lite rocks. I turned on a lot of friends and family to it also. All their boxes ended up more stable. My sister and aunt are still running it, even after 3 years.

Silly question, but what is 98 lite? I've never heard of it before.

As the PC is only a P3 500, 128MB, ATA66 4GB drive, using the cut-down 98lite gives me much more room for MP3s, and boots up much faster (about 35 seconds opposed to about 55 for 2k - this makes a big difference in the car). As for stability, all mine is running is Winamp and ActiveSync for the iPAQ PocketPC, and no real interaction, and it's also not really on for very long (few hours at most on the longest journeys!). Also Win98 doesn't mind having the plug pulled on it as much as 2k does
