[thelist] Just got a pc to test with - Have some browser/software questions...

[D Ross]

Hello,
Just got an older compaq laptop with Windows98. My mom sent it to me as 
she knows I've been needing one for testing my sites. I've been using a 
Mac as my primary computer so just using this pc to test with.

I dont have a router yet so no internet connection to the pc but I want 
to get some various browsers on it. I'm sure it will work but just 
wanted to get some info about installing software on it.

I was planning on downloading whatever I needed for it to my mac then 
transfering the files over on cd. I've heard it's somewhat a pain to 
install multiple version of IE on a pc. IE 5.5 is on it now and there's 
a version of netscape on it but havent checked it yet to see which 
version. I really just want to get ie5.0 and more importantly ie6 on it. 
I have seen the browser archives that the evolt people have supplied so 
I can just download whatever browsers I need from there, burn to cd on 
my mac, then transfer over to the laptop right?

I also need a flash player in IE as the version on it now (5.5) doesnt 
have a flash player. Anything special I need to consider there?

Anything else I should install or need to worry about?
Do pc's support cds with multiple disc burning sessions on them? Seems 
like I remember they only recognized the first session.

Thanks a bunch for any info,
-David
