I know that Fish did something like this with Dell CDs and 2000. It was like, stick a standard disk in and start Setup, and then stuck the Dell one in. I'd ask him to be sure.

OK, I had this anoying 2000 dell CD, that only let you use it on Dells, and it somehow checked that you have a dell, even if you booted to the CD... So what I did in the end was use a non-dell CD that never worked for me to initally start install, then once it rebooted my computer, I switched to the dell CD, because at this point the non-dell one never worked.


Just download a non-OEM copy.

Some 2k discs, the early 9ones,, like mine say it can run on 32mb of ram, but some 2k discs, newer ones, ususally with sp's slipstreamed, say it needs 64.

Ive ran it on a 233mhz, 32mb ram before, its good for the most part, but you might need to 2klite some shit.

BOD

this one doesnt have SP$ that i used...... its an academic edition
