XP running on a 486 cpu

[Chasov Anton]

Hello.

Can somebody post the .iso image of patched system? Or may be just patched files? All links ar broken and Web Archive is not working now.

Want to try in my Am5x86@160/128MB RAM/SATA SSD.

May be in PM, if posting in public is not possible.

(Sorry for my bad English, i'm foreginer from Russia )

Thanks a lot.

btw. which files are touched by your mod in general? ntoskrnl.exe, ntdll.dll, ole32.dll... something else?

Can you take a full actual list if it's possible, may be I make Russian version of modded XP by exporting resources from original files...

Trying to install this distro from CD in Am5x86@160/128MB/SATA SSD.

Text-mode setup is OK, completes in ~15-20 minutes, then PC restarts and boots into graphical setup who says that I have 39 minutes remaining.

Waiting a whole day and it still does.  39 minutes remaining from ~8:00 to ~22:00 , no progress bar (Installing devices etc.) and no disk activity. HDD LED is blinking in first 30s...1min then stay silent every time.

Calling Taskmgr via command prompt by pressing Shift+F10 and it shows me process svchost.exe loading CPU at 100%. But Taskmgr and command prompt starts just in 5-10 seconds.

Killing this process leads to Setup crash immediately with error;

"The digital signature catalog d:\$win_nt$.~LS\i386\nt5.cat could not be installed. The error code is 6be"

What is that svchost.exe? Any idea to fix this?

Motherboard is Jetway J-446B SIS496/497 chipset with 256KB cache. Installing a pure English distro, no modifications made by me.

 

Windows 2000 SP4 works pretty good with this config.

Jus replaced nt5.ca_ file in Your distro's /i386 folder from original Windows 2000 SP4 distro and now it installs OK. After ~1,5 hours it says "Removing temporary files"

What a... is it?
