Hey i wonder what can i delete from windows folder or program files to make win98 ocupate less space on the HD? I have a small hd and i could use the space. Now after i delete all i know the win folder has 350mb.

Thx.

Delete all files with these extensions from %windir% and %windir%\SYSTEM [%windir% = usually C:\WINDOWS]:

*.avi

*.bmp

*.gif

*.vbs

*.wmf

*.txt | = no more documents/readmes

*.doc |

*.hlp |

*.cnt |

*.chm | = be careful here, this way all help files will be gone

*.htz |

*.htm |

*.tmp = may also be found in C:\ root

Hope this helps.

Also, you can refer here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=59856 for an absolute minimum files required for the OS to still work.

Download 98lite.

Create two partitions on your hard disk. 120-150 Mb approx. for 98lite and W98SE install files.

Use option *clean install* without IE.

Create INF files in 98lite setup folder

[Version]
Signature="$CHICAGO$"

and name them

mstask.inf

mdacinst.inf

wbem.inf

...

to get rid of files (and features) installed by them.

Delete install files from setup partition and use that space for swap-file and/or your files.

Does not anybody have a copy of such installed windows? I don't have install CD Win98 neither Win95, so it would be perfect if I could just download it and copy to the formatted HDD and run it without any installation. THX

Would it be perfect? You may run into troubles with hw detection. Is there an installed version of W98 which fits to every hw configuration?
