AOL on a DOC?
AOL on a DOC?

Has anyone been able to get AOL to fit on just the DOC? I would like to make this into an "AOL Appliance" but so far it haven't gotten it to fit. I know AOL sucks and is horribly over priced, but I get it for $3/month because I have a relative that works for Mercedes...and they give it to their employee's...

I was able to install AOL 3.0 and had around 6mb free afterword. I used the IE Win98 Lite Image.

I really really hate AOL and I do not use their software for anything other than connecting. Its hard to beat at $3/month. I really really want to get some kind of broadband, but nothing is available to me. AT&T keeps taunting me with flyers on my door and in my mailbox saying that cable internet will be available within the next 30 days, they have been saying that since May...the BASTARDS....

I think this is a legit issue. My father uses AOL and I'd like to give him a WP. In his day he was an incredible FORTRAN programmer. But now, there is no way he is going to switch to another ISP. The problem is that the installer program by itself is 40 Mb so the actual installed program certainly won't fit on the DOC.

Rob10k: Using IE really isn't an option because one still needs to load the AOL software .

I used the win98 lite ie5.0 image and installed AOL from a CD over the network. I then pulled it from the network and used AOL to dial up with no problems. Like i said you will only have a few MB left on the doc when you are done, that sorta sucks... but if you poke around the DoC there are files you can delete to squeeze a few more MB outta the DoC.

just to let you know...
The 32 bit aol 3 (for win 95) installation program is only 15 meg.
I'm not sure how much space it occupies once installed.

"only" 15 megs? The DOC has barely over 20. Chubby: did you use the win3.1 or win95 installer?

Yeah: is an image of your DOC posted anywhere? Since my WP has no drive outside of the DOC, I can't install from a CD.
