Micro95

edited August 2004 in Software
I've been playing with Micro95 for a while now. I've also have it on my network but i'm is LanMan for that job. Right now its in all about 20MBs.
I could make it smaller but theres some options I want to keep.

  • well, i tried nano98, virtually same thing though

    it was ok, i wish it was much smaller so u can put it on a floppy and put it into ram without taking up 12mb of ram or whatever it is.

    i used that miniwindows 3.11 too, that would be nice to use on a bootdisk if it was 32 bit.
  • wanna explain what micro95, and the like are :angel: hehehe
  • actually, they make good boot disks for people who dont have a bootable CD-ROM drive, and dont know DOS command lines for setting up Windows from the CD-ROM drive.

    of coarse, you can easiyl just take a DOS disk, add some CD-ROM drivers, and make an automated Windows 9X disk to make it YET EASIER for people to install Windows 9X!
  • wasent it that thing that installs 95 with like less files ?
  • yes, it was 95 bootable off a floppy. The thing is...I the way I remember it.....it makes like a Virtual drive in your RAM, then extracts the Windows95files there. Its VERY small.
  • hmmm... that sounds interesting... where would one obtain a copy of it? :-)
  • Usually I think you gotta make it yourself, but yo could try to find a copy.

    lol, evver make Windows 98 bootable off CD?

    Just make your CD-ROM C:\ after copy your HD to the CD, then bootup with a floppy. I gotta try that sometime. thats the easy way though.
  • you mean like a live cd, linux has that
  • I actually made a live cd of Win 1,2,286,386,3.0,3.1,WfWG 3.11.

    It's kinda crappy.
  • I made a Live CD of windows95 and 98.worked great but it had no swap.
  • wow this could make things easier fro me

    I've been trying to figure it out for a while now.
    I love the idea.
    Couldn't you have partitions and put the swap
    files and temp files on a logical partition?
    Here's the place I've been studying but I don't
    understand it to well:

    My new machine can't run Windows 95 so I'm
    trying Windows 98. Some of the Linux CD
    versions can use a seperate partition.

    Hey! That's cool.
  • Windows95 OSR2 supports USB.

    =================================================

    I think if you play with the registry you can make windows 9x use a diffrent partition for swap.
  • You can make xp run off cd with a few things from nu2.nu

    Yeah, I know and it's fantastic. I have one and keep
    it handy. I was unable to figure out how to do the add
    ons though and couldn't get my Off By One browser to
    load. I've never got online with it yet either. I've
    searched high and low on all the download sites and
    I can't get one with the add-ons already loaded. I'd
    probably buy one for us if Bart would make it for us.

    Hmm...that shouldnt be...doesnt XP check for hardware after you press a key to boot from the CD?
  • Yeah, it checks. But then it causes an error.

    Slash, are you using Bart's PE Builder?
    Or something else?

  • no, it's a clean windows xp preinstallation environment.
