Replacing XP with Win98SE-PII, 233

I have purchased a Dell laptop with a PII, 233 Mhz, 64 MB RAM that has Win XP loaded. People have told me this is a ridiculous OS for this limited a machine, and recommend installing Win 98SE (I have the CD for this).
Can anyone lead me through the step-by-step of removing XP and installing Win 98SE? I plan on increasing the RAM soon as well.

I myself would just up-grade the ram, XP takes at least 128MB to run properly. WinXP is much better than 98se in my opinion and if you have 256MB or more ram, I'm sure you'd be happy with it.
Business as usual

If it has 64MB standard, what do I buy to get it to 256? Is there one "piece" I can buy or must I buy a 128 plus a 64? What is the cheapest source?
Thanks
