    How do I install IE5.5 sp2?? Using a CD.

    Howdy,

    Decided to work on an old HP. P133, 1 GB HDD, 48MB DIMM.
    Fdisked, formatted, installed win98se....installed all the drivers.
    Everything worked great!

    It had IE5.0. So I went to http://browsers.evolt.org and started downloading IE5.5sp2.exe. 87MB of it. Gonna' take 5 hours.
    Well, I hopped on my rig, downloaded it and burned a copy in about 7 minutes.

    I put the CD in the HP and clicked on it.....Well, it ran off a bunch of DOS so fast I couldn't read it. Restarted the computer and it never shut down, waited about 20 minutes and then hit the off button. Rebooted and did it all again. This time it shut down and is now attempting to load---I guess. It's been at it for 25 minutes.

    How am I supposed to load IE5.5 from a CD onto this HP?

    Commands, voodoo, etc.??

    Thank you,

    Spaceman
