PupWin98 — Puppy Linux® for Windows®98
Posted: Thu 26 Jul 2007, 07:54
Got a few old laps kickin about so thought I'd see what I coud do with 'em & pup. Decided to try out pup win 98.
Lap is an IBM 380 ED with a 166 mmx 32 gigs a ram (upgradable to ~ 80 for ~20 bucks which i will get). No usb & afaik no way to get it (usb 2 pcmcia need 32 bit), 2 gig HD with a floppy & cd drive, 98 installed, 2 pcmcia slots type I 16 bit.
Wanted to have wifi, but wasn't sure if it's possible. Turns out that there is 1 pcmcia type 1 16 bit card out there that is available & works (tried it in 98 works real good ) . It's a netgear ma401 with B speed 11 mbps & read in the forums that its worked out for others with pup - goes for ~ 10 bucks on e-bay.
Here's the info for the install that didn't work out & got a few questions. I dunno who or if anyone is supportin this pup variant (based on 1.0.7) but I think there is a prob with the files that are to be dwld & used.
Haven't done an mda 5 yet but the #'s aren't addin up to the info given. I've dwld them 3 times they don't match the detailed info given.

You'll need about 384,704KB disk space available.
If you're tight for space, you can get by with 323,781KB by deleting PupWin98.zip after extracting the files and before running Puppy Linux. If that's still too much, you can reduce further by editing "menu.lst" to use a smaller "pup001" file-system file.
PupWin98.zip [60,923KB], extracted files [61,637KB], file-system (pup001) [262,144KB].
Extract files from PupWin98.zip to the root level of disk drive C
and be sure to select Use folder names.
You should see these files extracted to drive C:
* file usr_cram.fs (53,880KB)*****
* dir PUPPY
o file image.gz (6,620KB)*****
o file linux3.ico (6KB)*****
o file PUPPY.BAT (1KB)
o file grub.exe (104KB)*****
o file menu.lst (1KB)
o file vmlinuz (1,024KB)*****
* dir WINDOWS
o dir Desktop
+ file PupLinux.pif (1KB)*****
========================================
The total of the PupWin98.zip file is supposed to be [60,923KB] but coming in at ~ 61,089
PUPPY .BAT is supposed to be (1KB) but ending up at 505 bytes.
& menu .lst is supposed to be at (1KB) but ending up at 173 bytes
All the other files sizes are identical to the above.*****
Houston ..do we have a prob here? I'm assuming the prob here is the dwld files are bad, or somethin's not adding up. I'll report the md5 soon as I get to it but anyone have some info on it?
I'm gettin a boot into pup & can select 98 or pup to boot into, but pup only boots a bit then stops & doesn't like somethin; 98 is fine.
