that's really stranege becase i've run it many times in my vpc and worked flawlessly but if you say it works better that way... updated again!

@nOBeLium, done!

yes and no... still untested sometime ago i read about a guy that got problems if he didn't specify the patch to the unattended.mst file so that's why i added it, just to prevent problems you can try in your current installation and if it fails then you know what it's the problem. hope it works and can help u Gracias a ti

just edit "C:\boot.ini" and if the partition it's correct, then just delete this

i'm sure that links are still there, on the net, at least most of them (i found some offlines). some of the info can still be found but i have zipped all the documents about the shrinking win9x so you don't have to search for them and you can avoid offline problems. on 2 years some1 will question "hey, where is the info about shrinking win9x?" and you can point them here

that's exactly what i wanted so yes it will continue the installation with no prompts.

@evilvoice no problem with you guy, no offense, it's just that i thought it was clear that this can not work depending on your isp settings. if the installation it's correct then there it's a problem with dun.ini or phonebook.ini again try to search on the cd you got together with the modem if it can help. sorry if something from here cause you that tons of problems anyway for me works perfect, it's just there is something you need to tweak, good luck about stdialer, sorry i dunno ps: i'll edit the original post to left it clearer

@Mtk it runs win32 apps that don't use advanced APIs but you don't have to look at it like a "small OS" you can see it like an "advanced recovery system". you still can use explorer and probably you can run a xp installation from that mini-OS (untested). somethings i've thought about: probably it would run from a virtual unit so it can be mounted from a startup disk like EDB.CAB. it can be used like WinPE you can build a liveCD to play solitaire ( ) ..

Introduction I've found 2 methods of how you can shrink the Win95 installation down to near 5Mb. First one was originally stored here. But the author left the project: Second one let you make a bootcd but i haven't test it.Method 1 1.- Shrinking: Start deleting the files not present in this list: 2.- Editing: Simply edit your "SYSTEM.INI" and left only these lines: Method 2 1.- Shrinking: You have just downloaded the files at the bottom, so take a look at "95filelist.txt" and remove everything not included in that file, even: read only, hidden files, win.ini, system.ini, system.dat, system.da0, user.dat and user.da0. "\windows\system\vmm32\" must be left if you want to preserve support for win32 applications. 2.- Micro95: Now run "createmicro95.bat". After the command file it's finished, you'll read: So follow the instructions, rename, insert and add to the registry.3.- Additions: In the .zip file you can find: "System.ini" "Win.ini" "createmicro95.bat" "95filelist.txt" "Registry.reg" How To: Make a bootable CD How To: Win98, less than 5Mb (Nano98 method)! How To: Long file names (LFN) under DOS How To: Win95 on 5'35Mb with explorer under non-safe mode (now offline/not available)! How To: Restoring WMM32.VXD support for Win32 applications How To: Win95 on 4'47Mb (micro95 method)! Download 145 KB (148.819 bytes) Mirrored Download 145 KB (148.819 bytes) - Thanks to vaibhavb! The purpose of this it's to don't forget what it was written on the net and now it's not available, so if you can host the file, PM me and I'll add your mirror.

while writting the guide bsod!!!! i'll edit this post when finished. @gamehead200 those pages are already in the guide edit: Win95 on 5,35Mb!

@evilvoice if the installation starts and then fails take a look under code of section 4 every dsl has different settings, mine it's only a base, you have to build your own based on your isp...

none it's easier than other, mine it's just for spanish users and @nateklomp's script it's for english language ...working on outpost 2.5...

@nOBeLium lol, for me it looks perfect, the only thing that can cause that error it's that the office setup.exe file it's not on the root on of your office folder... thing that i doubt... anyway i've changed a little the code so you can try this... @ECHO OFF TITLE Instalacion de Microsoft Office 2003 y Adobe Photoshop CS COLOR 70 ECHO. ____ ECHO ______________________________ ____________/ /________ ECHO -=-=-=-=/ __________________/ _ \ _ \/ ____\____ \ / \/ ____\-=-=-=-=- ECHO ____\___ \/ \/ _ _ / / / / /\___ \/ / /__ /\___ \ ECHO -=-=-/ ________/ ___/__/_/ /_____/__/ /______/\_____/ / /______/=-=-=-= ECHO \/(-Dvc!-)\/ / _/ / _/ /_____/ ECHO \/ \/ ECHO.

i'll start writting tonight.. 1am gmt @jaclaz good find

@Stanislavs, he wants to shrink the installation of w98se, like nlite works for XP. i've read a little about that and found a manual dunno where, but i remember that w95 can be shrinked down to 15mb... edit: if found it. good and bad news... good news, this is the page http://www.wimborne.org/richard/shrinkingwindows/ ...bad news a quote from that page... if any1 it's interested i've got a copy from a year ago "how to shrink w95 to 5,95mb", i can make a little tutorial if you like... part of what i've got

this is tricky, first take a look to: Catalyst Forceware then if you need help with .iss files come back

the guy has to pay $2000 if he want the tribunal to be constituted by 3 judges and not 1 (more possibilities to win), and that it's the beginning. what about if he win? he can demand m$ for damages? what it's really interesting it's that m$ have demanded the site for the similar domain and the similar logo, nothing related to the content...

overheating can be a problem... LoL

lots of new members, welcome dude

hahahahah **** it! i thought it was a really girly-britney clone

mmm what about LAN? plugin a HD with the XP installation? ZIP drive with XP install shrinked? USB device with nlited XP (needs bios support to boot from it)? ..

@Sesshoumaru it can be a common error but you can still use for example latest winrar (3.40) it's shareware. extract the contents of the .7zip file to $OEM$\$1 so it will look like "$OEM$\$1\Drivers\006_MassStorage"

that it's really strange because for me it works perfect... things to try: check that the patch it's correct (if you are not using the english language version your application data folder may look different) remove any "@echo off" commands so you can see what it's happening and why it's not deleted debug your output like Clean.cmd >> C:\Clean.log 2>&1 see if it works on your current installed system if you run it from runonceex or later you can use the %APPDATA% variable, so it will look like

the first 2 links are WFP protected and the last one does not have a .lnk extension. try deleting... DEL /F /Q "%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf"
