Hi !
Being in France, I own a french win98 cd, but I'd like to install iton an old computer (cel400) in english, is it possible and how ? I don't care if the setup is in French, but I need win98's interface to be in english.
 
Could anyone send me a copy of it, for I have a valid license with my French cd, you can mail me for this.
 
Thank you in advance !

I'm not totally sure if this'll work on your end, but when I was installing 98, I thought you were able to select the language being used during setup. This is an english copy, so it may not apply to you.

No, you can select regional settings (number, currency time format etc) but not the language. For W98 I believe the only option is to get hold of the CD Anglaise.

It is impossible. There are different language versions. You have to install english version.

You got an address? I will mail you a burned copy of the CD, minus the key, as you say you have one. Mind paying the shipping? International can cost a buck or two. I'm here in the good ole US of A.
