RE:clean install with win98 UPgrade CD (modified 0 times) Lincoln_man Profile Upgrade CD's need to look for a previous edition either on the hard drive or on a CD or install floppy. This is programed into the setup files so don't know if you can change it. Beg, borrow, or steal a W95 CD and your in. 10-21-2005 13:40:48

RE:clean install with win98 UPgrade CD (modified 0 times) Wild_Pencil Profile | Email My memory is a little fuzzy on this (it's been so long since I've done a hacked-up win98 install). it's a little involved, but I think there's a configuration file on the installer cd-rom that can be hacked to instruct the installer to go into a different mode. I think it was a single integer value, and it would let you choose between Standard Install, OEM install, Upgrade Install, or even a "Non-Keyed" type of install. Maybe one of the Registry-Hacks sites can provide more info.. but basically, you hack up this file, and burn a new installer cd-rom with this adjusted content, and you're golden.. 10-22-2005 17:30:02
