I would like to know how to do what is mentioned below. This information was found using Google's cache of a webpage in LitePC's website.

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:6rSGrAN...+features&hl=en

Unattended Installation: 98lite Enterprise includes an optional.ini

file for integration with Microsoft's Batch 98 setup utility for

unattended installation of Windows 9x with (or without!) all the

98lite optional features

Network Setup, Custom CDROMs: Prepare network media or burn CDROM's

that automatically install the modified windows setup. You can modify

the Windows setup process and then save that modified configuration to

a CDROM or network drive for deployment as required.

This purchase is for a single multi-user license. Enter the number of

machines you will be installing to. A single CDROM will be mailed also

(you can not remove the CDROM). :hello:

link broken :(

but based on the quoted part, it seems like unattended installation for windows 98. i can guess it's sorta like nLite except rather than deleted from the CD, extra files remain but not installed . :)

Windows 98 includes a program called batch, which provides the means for unattended install. You find this on the Windows 98 cdrom. This includes a file optional.ini.

98Lite is a proggie that is used for de-installing loads of additional features from Windows 98, 98SE and ME. It does not work with 95 or OSR2. Basically, you can uninstall great numbers of features, and there are fixes to others as well.

You can also launch the Win9x startup under 98Lite, which means that the features are not even installed to uninstall.

98Lite is $ware, but well worth it, if you want to squeeze Win98 into tight spots. I ran Win98 on a box with 16 MB ram, this was only allowed with 98Lite.

Unlike, say xplite, 98lite integrates completely into the win9x setup, both initial and maintainence. xplite remains a stand-alone program, available after setup. nlite reduces the install cdrom, so unlike 98lite or xplite, it does not give you the option of installing/uninstalling features as you go.
