Question Reinstall win98 to repair

This question is mainly directed at glc, but if someone else can answer it, go ahead.

Glc suggested doing "setup /p f" to help fix a networking problem I've been having. (no, I haven't done it or fixed the problem yet. Not enough hours in the day... )

TCP/IP problems now.
Reinstall Win98 using the following undocumented command line:
setup /p f
This will refresh all the system files without screwing up everything. There MUST be a space between the p and the f.
I've seen members on other threads suggesting "setup /pf" for O/S probs. What's the difference between the two?

Well, if the space MUST be there, then the command without the space would probably result in an invalid command error.

I've never used the space and never had a problem... always used SETUP/PF
