98lite is a small program u put into a floppy.
After u format, INSTEAD of running
cddrive:\win98\ena\setup.exe

How do I create one of these 98lite floppies?? Is there a function for this on the 98se cd?
If so, where is it located?

Quote:

u start the program on the floppy and make sure the 98se disc is inside.
The installation copies the *.cab files to your hard disk drive and then the setup goes on as usual but now u can select many more futures to install/not to install.

So it's like a normal Win98 setup, but gives you the choice to install/not install extra features??
What happens to the *.cab files once the installation has completed? Can you remove them? Do you have to manually remove them, or does Windows do it automatically after the installation?

first of all it's "asta la vista" and not hasta Undecided

I am banned VIA IP and not just username. I have to use a proxy just to get in the forum.
Now are u still sure u "intentionally did not block any IP"
If u want me to stay off just ask, i do not hang out where i am not wanted.

This is the time to say my final line.
voodoo cards suck, they always sucked and will go on like this forever.
there are only 2 cards that worth bothering with:
v5500 and v6000
everything else is simply pure shi-t.
I only hope you guys do yourselves a favour and get rid of that old crap.
this is the truth, accept it or deny it - It's up to u.
I am going to delete my usernam from the database as I no longer intend to get back here.
Was nice to meet you falconfly, micha , lecram , raziel64 and patience.

bye bye Cry

After the clear threat you voiced yesterday, that obviously changed, and your normal access privileges were removed permanently.

The long list of international Proxies I have is, however, not access restricted yet, allowing you (or any other Proxy User) to still access the Forum and Archive for now...
(for now, only bezeqint.net Services are affected)

If you believe Voodoo Cards suck, that's (as I said earlier) personal preference. But obviously, this is definitely not the right place to be then, if that's your opinion.

I ran RTCW on a Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo1) on a K6-2 350 with 128MB. OK, the tram level was very difficult and i needed many save's to solve that level but most of the rest was playable. Solved it without cheating but saving every corner Wink

. @Falconfly, remeber my solution for the crashes with Voodoo1 drivers and the search for the best 3dfxogl (wasn't it 428) to run RTCW and Q3 in your guestbook?

Regards,
Andreas

janskaer? 98lite is a third-party program. It was created by someone who was originally interested in removing Internet Explorer from Windows 98. A thing that was rather "unfashionable" with Microsoft at the time since they were in court trying to prove that it was a vital component of the OS.

You can find a link in my sig (click on "98lite" below). It's shareware but there is a free version you can try. For me the main "trick" it does is to change the Windows Explorer shell but it also allows you to deselect or remove various Windows components.

You can install and run the program from within an existing install if you want. This is a second-best option since it will never be as tidy as a fresh install using the program.

If you do a clean install the first thing 98lite does is to create an install directory. This contains the .cab files and the Windows 95 components if you're going to use them. After installing the OS you are free to delete the install directory although you then lose the facility to clean up the install from time to time using 98lite.

HTH

Exciting here, eh? Grin

falconfly, THERE IS ALWAYS A LEAK, ALWAYS.
u can keep blocking old - out of date proxy servers.
there are millions of them.
u can keep blocking them by ports.
that will require u to block 99999 ports.
i assume you'll ban the entire forum before u locate my port.
keep blocking them. now it's 8888 port.
hmm.. u blocked 2 right? so that leaves u 99997 to go.
good luck! Cheesy

btw, reread my post. i said all voodoo cards suck with the exception of v5500 and v6000.

Has anyone tried the 2000lite or XPlite? How do they fair up? Quote: Exciting here, eh? Yes, some very strong arguments and opinions being thrown around, although I think PASSword should just give it up.

To some extent, I see no reason in using Win98lite as oposed to Win98SE, if you are viewing HTML content.

Generally, I doubt the difference would be that big in performance when using WIN98lite, since it uses the same kernel. Again, if network devices (such as VNET and VNETSUP) are not blocked from starting up, I am afraid that even the 5% performance gain, would not be achieved on Win98lite...

i personally own a near complete set of voodoo s they have done , what they were meant to do well ! Saying something sucks without any kind of usefull critisism is just pointless ! i own a radeon 9600 pro aswell i use it for new games mainly , the voodoo s are still superior to use with the games from their own period , and if you can stretch the life span why not ? and why not have a legacy system for your old cards and parts . It all comes down to what you enjoy doing game wise old / new or both !

I also have an XP install with XPlite. It's a whole different thing.

With 98lite the program can control the whole install of the operating system. In addition to allowing you to remove parts of Windows that aren't usually optional it also allows you to change the actual kernel (in the case of "Sleek" and "Micro" installations). This makes the OS a bit faster in the GUI, gives it a smaller footprint on disk and in memory, but mainly makes Windows 98 a whole lot more stable - for me anyway! Grin

With XPlite you do a normal install of Windows XP. You then install XPlite which allows you to selectively remove parts of Windows that you normally couldn't. There is no facility for kernel swapping.

XPlite is still under development and promises to allow the removal of still more of the mass of useless stuff XP loads by default. But, IMHO, as it stands it doesn't do quite enough on its own. And when compared to 98lite I find XPlite a bit of a dissappointment.
