MSINFO32 reports as follows: Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A Clean install using /T:C:\WININST0.400 /SrcDir=C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS /IS /IW /IQ /ID /IV /IZ /II /NR /II /C /U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IE 5 5.00.3105.0106 Uptime: 0:04:29:01 Normal mode On "CX193439-A" as "Superbiskit" Hewlett-Packard GenuineIntel Intel(r) Celeron(tm) Processor 63MB RAM 63% system resources free Custom swap file on drive D (328MB free) Available space on drive C: 226MB of 3853MB (FAT32) Available space on drive D: 328MB of 992MB (FAT32) Available space on drive E: 141MB of 3184MB (FAT32) And, while we're on the subject, I see that bash also thinks I logged on as "Administrator" which leads to another mailgram.
