ALL:

If you do install Windows 98 and dual-boot as I do, PLEASE be careful _NOT_ to upgrade the boot partition and the partition that NT resides on (assuming it's fat16). If you upgrade either you will destroy windows NT. If you upgrade c: then you will have to reformat it to go back to fat 16 and reinstall NT.

Re: "I take it you installed it over an older Win95 with the old 16 bit FAT?"

Exactly, but I wasn't using disk compression so I don't know if that is a painless conversion to fat32, just in case you are using it.
