If this is a ME certified HP computer, then I think you will find, in the
end, it is a better idea to just install ME. Millennium has all the drivers
natively, and some of them will not be available anywhere else. ME with
stable certified drivers are going to be a lot easier to deal with then a
patched together Win98se.
