Like "akmd", I have an IBM Stinkpad laptop computer with
Windows 95 pre-installed and cannot find the update needed
to upgrade to Windows 98. How can I uninstall Windows 95
and replace it with a non-upgrade version of Windows 98?
Is it even possible if I don't have a version prior to
Windows 95? I need to know because I'm having difficulty
finding a newer printer that will interface with Windows
95.

Thanks in advance for any help possible!

There is information about installing W98 here, but you haven't provided
enough details to be able to confirm that you can actually do it. Do you
have your W98 installation CD? Have you confirmed with IBM that your machine
is compatible with W98 (or at least with the CD that you are going to use)?
