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

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** · 12-24-2003, 12:25 AM

242mb
105 files
(12mb unextracted)

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

**DWk** · 12-24-2003, 12:34 AM

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

yea its unusual but winrar gets the job done

**kaiweiler** · 12-24-2003, 12:36 AM

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

**skelley521** · 12-24-2003, 12:36 AM

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.
