  • Windows 98 boot disk need

    From paulie420@VERT/BEERS20 to All on Sun Aug 16 20:40:00 2020
    So I'm working on a Dosbox-x system... I already have tons of DOS apps &
    games, old Apogee shooters and 'second reality' demo just rocking away perfectly... I chose to run it under a lite linux build, because its on an
    arm processor - as opposed to a Dosbian install... which I like; Dosbian is just a boot-directly to DOS prompt build of Dosbox for the raspberry pi...
    but I wanted to create individual .conf setups for each section of games... I want them to really dial in and play well on the light hardware.


    Anyway, one of my last steps is getting some games that require Windows going... I've got Windows 98 almost installing perfectly, by loading the install CD as a CD-Rom image and then doing an actual install to C:\... but I don't have an actual DOS-hardware system, so I can't create a Windows 98 boot disk- nor do I have the actual boxed software with that disc available. I do have a valid Windows-98-key... but at any rate, I'm hoping that someone might:

    Do you have a Windows 98 boot disc that you can ZIP up or image up for me?
    It should only be 1.4MB so easy enough... hoping that someone might have what will finish off my DOS emulation project. ???

    Thanks in advance, if you do: paulie420@gmail.com

    why do you even need a bootdisk when you can reboot using a shortcut with custom autoexec and config.sys?

    anyways, i emailed you a link
