Subject: Installing Win9x (was: Re: APPLEVISION Monitor)
Jeez, this list has gotten so OT . . .
From: Richard Erlacher <edick(a)idcomm.com>
I don't see how it could be any easier to
install than Win98. I just put
the
CD in the drive and reset the machine. Then I go
away, to lunch,
perhaps, and
when I'm back the drive is freshly formatted
as a single partition under
FAT32
and the OS is completely installed, the drivers
in place, the modem ready
to
align with the internet parameters it wants
(server names, addresses,
etc) and
then I can install applications.
Richard, I don't know what version of Win98 you are using, and I'm not
familiar with your hardware, but I do two or three installations of Win9x
every day, and in 95% of the cases I have to provide device drivers for
something in the system. It is rare that Win9x will provide all of the
drivers for the sound, modem, video, and IDE controller.
Perhaps you are using a "restore" disk which came with your eMachine,
Compaq, HP or Gateway computer?
