Next message: Brian Durant: "[WinMac] Celvin Easy PC part 3."
You'll now need a bootable Windows 98 SE CD. If you don't have an original
you'll need a bit for bit copy to be bootable (unlike a MacOS CD!).
Since you're starting out from scratch, try to use NT5, err, Windows 2000
instead: You'll be a LOT happier with the results. In fact, if you have a
network (ethernet) PostScript printer you can use Win2k's AppleTalk to talk to
it.
If you REALLY go whole hog and install Windows 2000 Server, your Macs will see
it transparently in the Chooser! :)
Cheers!
Dan
