al. You're not fighting the damn thing. Not every OS needs gigabytes of HDD space. Win 98 ran perfect with >750MB. Several Linux Distros out there will make even that look like a system hog.

Could you please just stop posting or keep all your comments limited to the Off-Topic area?
I have not seen you make one post yet that actually assisted someone with their problem. Your response are often derogatory and/or make zero sense. If you want to be a jerk, fine, but be a jerk on another Forum and let those of us who both can and want to help others here do so without having to sift through the crap you post.
To the OP:
Depending on the Linux Distro you install, you'll have an option to manually partition your HDD before installing. You can either re-size Win98 (which was the last version of Windows I truly liked
) and install Linux alongside it, or wipe the entire HDD clean and install just Linux. As far as resetting up your internet access, do you mean doing it on Linux or doing it on Win98 after Linux is installed? Dial-up? -High-speed? During the Linux install, it should detect hardware and install appropriate drivers. You'll need to set up your individual email accounts, but if you don't know that info, you can get some help from your ISP.
