Just bought a new Win7 machine & am waiting for broadband hookup. Installed a dialup modem in the new machine but the download speed is about 1/4 of that of my trusty old W98SE machine. Can I use my W98 machine to download the latest FF installation files to my harddrive then copy those files to a CD and then use the CD to install FF onto my Window 7 machine?

You can download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and copy that file to the other computer. There is just the one file to copy.
