If they are Security Updates, then Yes install them. If they are optional
then you can pass on them.

Thanks

Ordinarily I do install them, but in the FAQ, and theVulnerabilty
questions, it seems to say the may or may not be applicable to win 98, , It's
not real clear, when you read the vulberabilty section?
thanks
