98 Lite 4.5

[Descent]

Damn, this shit is OFF THE HOOK!

The "Sleek" install strips the 98 Explorer GUI out, and puts in the 95 GUI and now it's stable as hell. I have been using it for close to a week now, and not a single program has crashed, and I have not gotten even one BSOD.

You will need a 95 CD older than OSR 2.5 to do this, but it's worth it.

The best part is it takes up only 90MB .

Everybody should try this out, it can pump new life into an old machine, and it makes a great recovery OS for any new machine (Which is why I have a 10GB drive in here, just for that kind of stuff, with 98 Lite on it).

This truly is a viable alternative to higher priced OSes. There is still decent driver support for it, you just may have to look around a bit.

Descent: It truly is a great OS if you strip it down.\

Laff. Now that I think about it, this info might be useful for the shitty computer my dad wants me to build for my mum.

Haha...Hell, it even makes a great primary OS. I'm seriously considering running this shit for day to day use, it really is that good.

I love it's nekkidness, no bloat at all. Just how I like my OSes.

No, I really don't. I'm just spreading the word about this "Killer App."

If small and naked is your style why not try MenuetOS http://www.menuetos.org/ it works on a single floppy. You don't even have to have a hard drive.

 

[Descent]

Yeah, I've run that before.

The problem is, it's not Win32 compatible.
