[Windows 98 Live Cd Project (Update)]

Ok Jaclaz .. all suggestions are welcome, changes in scripts, new alternatives is what I want, with the help of all, perhaps in the future so we have a WINBUILDER for win98.

regarding grub4dos you're right, allows the use of heath stick ...

Since the rar.exe, I have found another alternative (yet), I tried pkunzip, uharcd and had crashes on some computers

MobaLiveCD is interesting, however never used it ... I will try this :-)

[Windows 98 Live Cd Project (Update)]

Jaclaz, thank you for your interest in the project.

Let me explain your questions ....

The files WIN98.IMG would be a bootable image, type a superfloppy, which is part of the system, the files of the drivers, and the principal, which is the WINDOWS.RAR that extracted for the RAMDISK X: \ boot time.

The IMDISK and utilized to MOUNT / UNMOUNT image (WIN98.IMG)

During the creation of your win98 livecd, the IMDISK will be used only once:

The image is Mounted "BUILD_WIN98LIVE.cmd"

and insert the boot files, folder DOS, Win98 folder, etc ...

The IMDSK unmount after the creation of the ISO image (RAR.CMD)

The file REBUILD_IMAGE.CMD (rebuild all images, win98.img, windows.rar, win98live.iso) can be used to test their MODIFICATIONS, without having to re-extract all files from the CDROM windous 98.

MAKE_ISO.CMD (rebuild a new ISO)

Plugins ....

to enable or disable plugins, see folder PLUGIN ... "CFG_PLUGIN-NAME.CMD"

MSN Messenger disable = run CFG_MSN_MESSENGER_PLUGIN.cmd, choice "2" and click "ENTER"

MSN Messenger enable = run CFG_MSN_MESSENGER_PLUGIN.cmd, choice "1" and click "ENTER"
