It is very interesting to me that you know of a way to fit the kernel of
WIN9x on a floppy. Please elaborate. I am familiar with 98lite
(www.98lite.net) and that is a great bloat remover but the best it can
do is cut WIN98 down to about 40 MB. When you say floppy, I assume
you mean 1.4 or 2.8 MB rather than 100 - 120 MB for a ZIP or LS120.
I would love to have a lean - fast partition on my HD with LFN support of
WIN98, command line only, 32 bit, etc. to do backups, file copying and not
loose long file names. Also to run Opera and other compact 32 bit
applications.
Thanks, Barry.
