| 179395 | 2003-09-30 15:00:00 | I have a 256mb usb flash drive,i use it constantly,either using it for distributing files amongst friends and family,or taking my much needed apps with me when im doing the rounds. Ive been meaning to load windows 98 onto her and seeing if she fires up,might have a crack at that tommorow,From memory a sleek install of 98 is only 168mb. |

Might be the way to go,but i haven't got the enthusiasm for all that jive... |

| 179401 | 2003-10-01 00:42:00 | I know someone with a 256MB flash drive that has both Windows 98SE and Office 2000 installed on it. I've got a 128MB and haven't tried anything than a stand alone Trillian installation for using on other computers. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 179402 | 2003-10-01 00:47:00 | Ok...now im thinking install win98 on a spare hd,install the usb drivers on her,then transfer an image of it onto the usb drive..... | metla (154) | ||
| 179403 | 2003-10-01 02:25:00 | How big is the CAB directory for W98? You could copy that to the USB device, then run the setup in that copy. | Graham L (2) | ||
