To answer my own question -- tested it earlier today on Win9x, and it seemed to work just fine. There were some intermittent errors with a missing Cygwin1.dll in preremove scripts, and some postinstall scripts failed (it was a large upgrade, I can post the full log if anyone's interested), but otherwise it went rather smoothly. > Also, I fixed the resizing of the remaining pages (splash, root, and > localdir.)
