correct.... If they really did it 98 will not run in many other parts
of the program

win98 using 98 pro has a micro option:
Or as someone said:
This pro version of 98lite also includes
98micro for the seriously minded - install
windows98 in under 60 MB and watch it fly!
In short they managed to chop another 40 mb off and it seems to run
real good like under vmware under Linux...
A fast 98 without the internet stuff which is unwanted.
I never checked what 96C installed if one didnt want ie4 but if I
remember correctly you could select the desktop integration

read the above but it clearly states it removes stuff you may need for
other things as well thanks to the mixed DLL strategy of MS.

same here, a private post would be welcome on this trick....

A reinstall of 98 from Dos out likely will fix it.

But its unlikely to be full proof.
On the other hand I have systems I wouldnt mind really chopping down
to size like my kids gaming system... will never have internet anyway!
