Anyone wanna tell me how to Burn this as an image, or tell me whatever I need to do, because I am quite confused

Thanks

i think all you should do is burn that into a cd.... not sure though....

however, those ARE the setup files and .cab's (cabs are like zip files with drivers)

not 100% sure about burning it tho :)

[skelley521]

Well, it looks like some moron just saved the Win98 folder off the cd only.
Is the size about 173Mg??

edit: around 103 files total??

[kaiweiler]

242mb
105 files
(12mb unextracted)

[balamm]

Why you downloading tar files? You run linux? That's probably a virtual install for wine or winlin.

[DWk]

its not a bad format for windows, balamm...you KNOW that....

yea its unusual but winrar gets the job done :rolleyes:

[kaiweiler]

nope I run XP professional
wanna give me a link or somethin to the real Windows 98 thats just an ISO then?

[skelley521]

ok, got 98 cd in.

The file size of the :

98 folder is 173 MB

Drivers folder is 101MB

= 274, but he may have left out webtv drivers and some other nonsense stuff to get it down to the basics.

Edit: those are 98 files as I am looking at the exact ones as you listed on my 98SE CD.

[kaiweiler]

where can I get the ISO, or whatever I want?

[skelley521]

Give me a minute and I will make you one ;)

What do you want....ISO, .bin, ccd, blindwrite???

Also you know that M$ will not give support after jan. 16th 2004 for Win98/98SE

[cwctv]

Hi skelley521 mine are only these sizes:-

Win98 is 104 megs cabs only with 91 files. Driver cabs 11 - 21 Win_98 22 -69.

Win98SE is 121 megs cabs only with 103 files. Driver cabs 11 - 20 Win_98 21 - 74.

kaiweiler why do you want a iso just copy files to a cd unless you want it bootable then you also need a bootdisc too.

[kaiweiler]

hmm whatevers easiest ;)
i know how to do the .bin .cue thing, and iso is probably even easier then that
so if its easy, ISO is good

Same here also, Just lucky I had it out when I recently worked on a 98 machine.
Otherwise it would have taken me hours to find it.... :D

[kaiweiler]

hmm thats pretty big!
it says its gonna take about 10-12 hours :(

[skelley521]

Thats the best I can do for now. I have 15 bitts. going; others are using the server and network is running some of the bandwidth also.


Cable modem is smokin' and hard drive is screamin' for a break and a glass of water..."NO" I say.....keep reading and writing....lol.

It should be steady as that amount is all I can reserve for ya.

[kaiweiler]

hmm and theres no way to pause and resume?

Nope, you will get cut off and put at the end of the line.
Then the download will start from the beginning then.

[cwctv]

Sorry to but in again skelley521 you want me to take it on Kazaa he can have it in about 1hr 30mins.
What have you given just the cabs or all the disc.

[kaiweiler]

that would be nice if you could do that

Made and ISO for him from my 98SE disc.
That would be great as I am kinda overloaded at the moment :D

[kaiweiler]

is it on k-lite now?

[cwctv]

Ok just cut the disc its bootable so if your mates machine can boot to a cdrom ie change it in the bios you can load from dos.
Give me 10 minutes will test it out first before I make an iso file will get back a.s.p then send you an pm with supernode and the key code which I have also put on the disc.

[kaiweiler]

alright, that'd be really good!

and thanks skelley521 too!
