98lite = GOOD!

[Plester]

what a great way to breath life into my old dell latitude P133LM w/ 24mb RAM. did the leanest install of 98lite (the one that uses some of the win95 shell) and it is like a new machine. don't mean to sound too gushy, but it is remarkable. couple that with tweakbios and opera and there is no need to upgrade (for me that is).

I'm glad you're happy, but looking at it another way, you dont know what you're missing...

What's he missing? Is it the useless, bloated "active desktop" that slows everything down, or is it the "we don't care if you want it or not, we're forcing you to have it anyway" Internet Exploder browser that is slow and brings down Windows when it crashes and is so tightly integrated with the OS that it slows it down also?? Go for it, 98lite's the way to go on Win98. I've been using it for alomost 2 years now on a variety of different boxes and it works great on all of them. Windows runs faster and MUCH more stable than with all the M$ intergrated BS.

airfoil - my desktop (P3 650E @ 931, 256mb cas 2 RAM, 60 gigs of ibm GXP raid aka fast) is running regular 98SE, but i gotta tell you i am considering doing 98lite on it too.

what is this 98lite? where could i get it ? is it pre 98se?

Wife is running it on her 850 T bird system. She loves it. Not a trace of IE. Did you do the addon version or the full install and then load the OS method. Using the full install it even adds new menu items when your loading windows.

here yea go Ark

Here's an earlier thread on this topic with a link to the 98lite web site.

ArkAoss asks the same question ("what is it?, where can I get it?&quot in that thread, too.

oops, forgot the link: look here
