Have anybody tried to install such version of Windows 98? > Yes, the Purdue University version of Windows 98 SE has worked fine on my system. The purdue versions had the license keys printed on the top of the CD. But for your information the license key should be in the \WIN98 directory on the CD in one of the INF files (I believe it is MSBATCH.INF). You see, Win4Lin does its own batch installation, so the key gets wiped out.
