> The trick was to exit the install program and get to a dos prompt.
> Then we 1) fdisk (it's on the win98 cd)  reboot, exit setup to
> dos prompt again. 2) format the partition with the "format" on the
> win98 cd and reboot. Exit the setup to dos prompt again, and here
> comes the tricky bit, mkdir c:\temp and start setup with "setup
> /T:c:\temp". Now setup knows that it can use the partition and
> doesnt need to remove all files from the disk.
