RE: which computer - win98se update

[Brian.Henderson@xxxxxxxx]

It's my understanding that there's no such thing, per se, as a special 98FE-to-98SE upgrader. But, if you load ALL the updates that were available for 98FE, then supposedly you'd have something that was ALMOST 98SE..."almost" being the catch. Some things like USB still don't work (I no longer remember all the shortcomings).

But...one of the things I liked most about 95/98 was that you could re-load the OS on top of itself
(which ended with the advent of the NT era). Which usually fixed a lot of little corruptions, but
left intact all your customizations and settings. I did it regularly, always with noticeable
improvement. I've never heard specifically that you can just load SE on top of FE and get a wholly
SE system, but I suspect that it's possible.

I just visited the two sites for Win98SE upgrade, and it turns out that what they have is a service
pack of updates for 98SE.  These would be only for people who already have 98SE, and likely a good
thing for them.  But unfortunately no answer for folks like me, looking to upgrade from plain old
98 to 98SE.

so... I repeat the request -- anyone out there have a 98 > 98SE upgrader or know where on can be found?
