wrayal Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I was looking to produce stripped windows 95/98/Me discs. The raw ones I have take up the better part of an entire CD, and much of this is unnecessary. Many tutorials exist for stripping down installations post-install, but I can't find many good ones for boot discs. I know programs such as 98lite exist, but 1) they cost and more importantly 2) they don't teach me much. Can anyone point me in the direction of any good guides? I'm sorry if I'm being exceptionally dim!Thanks,Wrayal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenoitRen Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Here's a good guide for stripping Windows 95 OSR 2.x of IE and company: http://toastytech.com/evil/lab.html#rem95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrayal Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Ah, cool, thanks, this is useful, although...how extensible is it? Can this same principle be applied to much of 95/98?Anyone familiar with any other particular resources on this topic?Wrayal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassingBy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hmmm .....Perhaps this gem will be useful to you :http://www.winimize.com/HTHRgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenoitRen Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It's intended for Windows 95 OSR 2.x, but I'm sure the .ini file editing could apply to other versions and other applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassingBy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hmmm .....That winimize thing is for installing minimal version(s) of windows 98 (called mindows by the author) without IE integration ..... and for that to work it needs some win95 files as listed on its site there ...Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrayal Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yeah, I've seen mindows before, very cool project.I'm guessing, using these two pieces of info (a guide for stripping out components and an entire custom installer) it must be possible to do most things with enough tampering? Time to start fiddling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
