perhaps not even that in some cases?)

2. AFAIK, you do not have to first install Windows 98 in order to
upgrade to ME. Just start the ME setup.exe and when asked for proof of
upgrade eligibility, show it the Win98 disc.

FYI, Gary, I just set up a new VPC to try what you mentioned
in (2) above. I didn't succeed in getting it to recognize
my ME CD at all. It just showed one line of gibberish starting
with MAC, with the / and \ spinning.....and spinning......
forever. You referred to the "ME setup.exe" but the VPC
creation didn't seem to see the CD. I tried rebooting and
so on...but to no avail.
