Hmm... well now, that is looking pretty good! maybe we could try this at the next meeting? or ?? I think I still have your (jake) bsd disk you made.... maybe I can try with it? It certainly is apealing :) My current win98 install takes up about 160M plus some for swap....but it doesnt have any major apps, just the basic stuff...
The win98 Im using on this laptop is between the first version, and the second (nearly version2). What version are you using? I could make it smaller too.... but im just using it to see what the laptop will do... The laptop was originally sold with win31, but requires a lot of compaq software to enable the features (such as SVGA, Sound, IR, CD, APM, ...) dos/win3x has none of that stuff built into it. The laptop is surpirsingly usable with 98 considering it was designed for win31! Im hoping it will be more usable with *nix, but I would be just plain like it better with *nix. I mean really... a laptop with the security level that windows provides is a dangerous thing in my opinion.
