I'm planning on building a new dual boot machine (98 & XP) with at least a 3 GHz
processor. My question is this - are you able to actually install 98 first, THEN
go into safe mode and apply the fix? Or does the actual install of 98 fail? If
it fails, how do you install 98, then apply the fix? (I can think of an alternative
way: You install it in a machine slower than 2.2 GHz, apply the fix in safe mode,
then upgrade the CPU. Boy if that's true, that sounds like a pain in the neck!)
I know I must also modify system.ini to allow my 98 partition to operate with more
than 512 MB of RAM. (As previously linked here...)

Again, is this something I can do AFTER the install, in safe mode? Or will the install
fail, thereby requiring me to use 512 MB of RAM initially, then boot up in safe mode
to modify system.ini, then upgrade the RAM?
Can I use this modified system.ini to boot up Windows 98 with an excess of 2 GB of
RAM?
Thanks for everyone's help!
