I'm downloading the full version of IE6win98me right now. So far it's taken
1 hour and 45 minutes. I don't plan to do any installing tonight.

I do have a couple other questions, if I may. Just so I understand, do you
mean that I have to install IE6SP1 before I install the full version of IE6?

Will I have to find and install all the old updates for version 5.5 before
installing anything to do with IE6 or are they both stand-alone browsers not
dependant on one another?

One more, once IE6 is up and running can I uninstall 5.5?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
