Installing Windows 2000 Server
Before you start on a machine (esp Win98 or Workstation) get the names of the video display adapter and the network adapter (with current IP address if assigned), so we can install the right drivers later.
If necessary, install a Matrox Millenium display adapter and NetGear NIC.
