Will,
I've forgotten this too, but do remember something that may help. If you
open the shutdown menu from windows.98 and choose restart in dos mode and
restart the utter, it will be in dos. If you don't type exit but just turn
the putter off, the next time it boots, it will go streight to dos.
For convenience, I had a boot disc to do this and may still have it lying
around.

Subject: [guispeak] Booting to MS-DOS with Windows 98se
I've installed windows 98se on a computer and want to boot directly into
ms-dos. I have tried the empty win.bat in the root directory trick, but
it's not working. The machine goes on to windows anyway.
I recall another method of accomplishing this involving modifying a line
of a windows file from 0 to 1 or vice versa.
Can anyone remind me of this method with specific details. Right now I am
searching around in old files for this info, but haven't located it yet.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Will
