Just say no to Win98, there's not really much in those userguides, wipe
it and go with a Linux distro that you like.

It may be possible to get the userguide to work under WINE, but I don't
expect that it'll be worth the effort, it may be a good learning
experience for you about WINE though.


I have a T20 at work that runs Suse 9.3 quite well with 512MB of RAM.
