BPoller Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yesterdayi tried out my "new" Win NT 4.0 Terminal Server (English Version) on MS Virtual PC 2007.Facing no problems so far, i wanted to try a thin client. I looked for some free/open source software.But i found that the Linux based clients were to difficult to install (for just testing) and finally i wanted to have a WLAN-ThinClient.So i went to a friend with a 98lite prof licence (we used a german Win98SE, so i could not use winimize or the other free tools).We prepared a Win98SE install on Virtual PC 2007:* Win98SE german 98lite 4.7 Prof. SLEEK install (with some Win95 files, e.g. Shell)* disabled everything except audio/video compression and audio support* we got a Win98SE with no IE (size of WinDir ~60 MB)* i installed German inoffical ServicePack 2.1d (now about 86 MB)* i deleted the mdm*.* files of the /[windir]/inf directory (~80 MB)* i installed the MS RDP Client V6* i disabled the waste box, pagefileWhile using Virtual PC 2007, i couldnt install a WLAN-Card. But it should not be a prob for a real system.The system worked perfectly (with 80MB in size).I could easily login to my WinNT4 Terminal Server and use the IE 6.0 SP1 remotly.Now i want to set this "Fat" Thin Client on diet.I only need the REMOTE DESKTOP and maybe some Printer support (as far there are drivers, after seeing HP "deleting" their Win98 drivers from homepage).*******************I am askin me, if anyone of u know such a project already, because that would save time by tryin my own or i could use some ideas of such a project.Main target is a slim WinThin OS with WLAN support.Also a website with tips for deleting unneeded Win98-files by hand would be cool.*******************If anybody know a easy-to-install Linux based ThinOS with WLAN Support, i would happy o hear from that.I would like to the PCs from my kids with some low-power legacy PCs, because they mainly use them only for chatting and youtube. Maybe my NT Server is strong enough for my wife too (playing mostly some web-based games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
