Subject: RE: Tech: CAB and similar W'doze install files
Yes, Richard, it's simple. Just copy the whole thing into a directory on whichever partition you'd like to use it from. The SETUP.EXE file is inside the Win98 directory, and it was always my preferred way of setting up Win98 if disk space allowed.
It's more useful if it's on a separate drive from the intended operation system, but it doesn't have to be. You will need to make a basic boot floppy, though, and make sure it has FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on it.
Sorry, but they are coasters. However, if you have the licence sticker, you can usually use that with another copy of the OS install, provided that it is similar. You can't use an OEM licence with an upgrade CD, etc.
Only by putting them in something! If you can find them, the boards will be very cheap.
