This is not recommended at all, but the solution i used was to copy
the LAYOUTS folder in the 12 hive to a new folder, change the setting
of the _layouts virtual directory in IIS to point to the new folder
and edited the application.master in there. You cannot change
settings to point to a new master, it has to be called
application.master. You need to be careful that all the required
ContentPlaceholders are in place or things will break.

Master pages are broken in WSS v3. You can have a single master page
govern all the application pages (those in virtual locations within your
site - like default.aspx), if you use the MasterUrl (as opposed to
CustomMasterUrl) it can also govern all the list pages (like
allitems.aspx), but only Master Pages in ..\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS can
govern the admin pages in the _layouts folder.
