Jane,

I'll just append a little comment to this question here.

I think, in the long run there is no way around current service
packs. The manufacturer of SBC Yahoo! DSL will have to modify
the product to make it compatible. I actually believe they will
have to do this pretty soon. (I don't know that product, and I
don't even know whether it's hardware or software or both. But
this doesn't matter. My statement holds either way.)

Meanwhile you can use Service Pack 1a.

No, you don't have to use NTFS to use SP2, but I generally
recommend NTFS over FAT32 because of its robustness.

Hans-Georg
