98 Guy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Most of the Intel chipset readme files mentions the ability to incorporate newer INF files into the "setup" directory of a win-98 OEM preload kit as a way to aid in installing 98 on motherboards with newer hardware.I have an OEM win-98se install CD, and there is no such "setup" directory. Instead, I see many hardware inf files in the "win98" directory of the CD.There seems to be very little on-line with regard to this "windows 98se oem preload kit" distribution CD. Does anyone here have any knowledge of it - or how to "build" one from a regular 98 OEM cd? Would this preload kit come as part of the MSDN library (which I have) ?Here are the relavent instructions from the Intel readme file. Again, if anyone knows how to accomplish this with a regular win-98se oem install disk, then please post. Again, I'm trying to see if there's a way to "roll-in" the Intel chipset driver Version: 6.3.0.1008 files into win-98 before starting the install.************************************************************* 8A. INSTALLING THE WINDOWS* 98SE/WINDOWS* ME * INF FILES PRIOR TO OS INSTALLATION************************************************************NOTE: The Windows* 98SE or Windows* Me OEM Preload Kit distribution CD contains a setup directory with all the base operating system setup files (*.CAB) and the installation program (SETUP.EXE).The name of the directory may vary depending on the distribution CD (e.g., \WIN98SE\). 1. If you are preloading Windows* 98SE, copy the Windows* 98SE INF files from <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\Win98SE to the setup directory. -or- If you are preloading Windows* Me, copy the Windows* Me INF files from <INF Extract Directory>\XXXX\WinMe to the setup directory. NOTE: XXXX is the directory name for the chipset of interest. Refer to Section 8 for more details.2. Run SETUP.EXE to install Windows* 98SE or Windows* Me.
