Win98 Lite

[100%]

ok i guess not

i installed it on mold pc along time ago - dont quite remember
but
i think when you execute it - it will explain everything
either you install it over your present 98
or if its a fresh intall put in 98 lite first (floppy?)
and follow the instructions on screen

it seems theyve removed alinks to the original guy who made it - where there was a clear explanation - search google- youll find alot of Thai sites
- i found this
which aint mucho

Walkthrough a Clean Install of Windows 98-98lite

1) Make or obtain a win98 boot disk.

2) put the 98lite distribution file (98pro46.exe) onto a floppy and put it aside.

2) Insert the boot disk and boot your system choosing to load your CDROM drivers.

3) at the A:> dos prompt type "format c:" and press

4) drive C is formatted. Now insert the floppy with the 98lite archive on it and at the A:> dos prompt type "98pro46" this will start the installer up..

5) select "install"

6) type in your key code to allow the installer to decompress

7) use the default path for the files if you want, namely "c:98setup"

..at this point the installer should decompress and dump a few files onto the clean hard disk in the c:98setup folder.

8) at the A:> dos prompt type "C:" to change to the C:> dos prompt.

9) at the C:> dos prompt type "cd 98setup" to change to the 98setup folder. The dos prompt should now be C:98setup>

10) at the C:98setup> dos prompt type "dir" and you should see all the 98lite files in the folder..namely you should see something like this:



C:98SETUP>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 8882-41E3

Directory of C:98SETUP

11) at the C:98SETUP dos prompt type "98lite" to start 98lite - it should fire up and show you a couple of screens of disclaimers etc and then stop with a menu of options with the first option being "1. Clean Install"

12) press the "1" key to choose the clean install

13) 98lite will then ask you to insert your win98 CDROM and it will copy all of the windows setup files from the CDROM to the c:98setup folder

14) 98lite will then ask if you want to copy the win95 explorer files to the hard disk in case you want to use the MICRO or SLEEK desktop option. This is an optional step - but if you insert your 95 CDROM or tell the installer where the files are (e.g. you may have them on a floppy or another hard disk) the files will also be copied to the C:98setup folder

... at this point you should now have a C:98setup folder that contains:

the 98lite program files

the win98 installation files, and optionally,

the win95 explorer files


... 98lite is now ready to install windows for you and it will start the process itself - you can also stop here if you want and come back later. If you run "98lite" from the C:98setup> dos prompt it scans to see if the CAB files and the win95 files are in position ready for it to work with - if they are it goes to the next step, if not it will ask for the CD again and try to copy all the CAB files into the C:98setup folder.

98lite will now proceed to modify the installation files and start the windows install. If you get an "out of memory" error you can stop. Reboot from the boot floppy again, and this time dont choose the CDROM drivers - choose the menu option to boot WITHOUT the cdrom as we dont need the cdrom now (all the files are on the hard disk already) and we can save a chunk of memory this way and use it for the file extraction process (which is very memory intensive thanks to the Microsoft "extract" program).

From this point everythign should continue just fine and you'll install your 98lite version of windows - ending at the desktop. The C:98SETUP folder will remain on the hard disk unless you remove it - if ever windows needs a driver or a windows file it knows to look at this folder so its often best to leave it there if space is not needed (you can always delete it later if you need the space).

Happy Installing!

Notes that I have on this subject,
Steve


Edit: As you can see this is for 4.6, but should work with all versions.
I also have 98lite Pro v4.7 Retail & 98lite Pro 4.8_2000-XP lite Pro 1.0 Gold, although I have not tested v4.7 or v4.8 as of yet, but XP Lite Pro v1 gold does work fine.

win 3.x has no real multiasking nor an ssh client available, or am i missing something?
it just halts programs and puts them in memory (disk) if u focus back, it loads them in front again like they're running.

is not a solution for OS is it? well its not an OS either.
win95 has pretty good bases to run on 'junk'.
