**Prafull** · July 20th, 2003

RF · July 20th, 2003

Whoopie :thewave: There really is no use for it tho..

vivrantpig · July 20th, 2003

useful for old computers with small hard drives

Noxious Ninja · July 20th, 2003

Hell yeah. Too bad it's not freeeware.

Case in point: I recently put together a PC for my Grandma out of some old parts; a K6-2/400, 64MB RAM, and an 800MB HDD. I figured with a minimal install of Win98SE I would have no space problems... yeah, right. I installed: Win98SE, Mozilla, and OpenOffice.org 1.0.3. Seemed to be running just fine. I tried installing printer drivers, and there was no room on the HDD.

*Sigh*

The makers of EOS are http://www.litepc.com/. I might just have to buy 98Lite Pro for my Grandma's PC... and XPLite for myself. Or pirate them. But I didn't just say that.

Sounds interesting... Ah, where have they been 4 years ago, when I had my old P-100 machine?

WindHydra · July 20th, 2003

reminds me of the 80's computer my highschool used 3 years ago... the 98 can fit on the 10mb hd

Damn... have you tried Windows 95? I have installed it using less then 60Mb's. Plus it's hella faster then 98 on older hardware. The only thing it lacks in my opinion is proper USB support.

vivrantpig · July 20th, 2003

hmmm.. they using hella in canada now too??

we started using that word in california... it spread all over the country.. mooohahaha

e-ternity · July 21st, 2003

Is this a compliment?

Boltzmann · July 22nd, 2003

Very interesting. A small windows like this is useful for offices, like the one where I work (of course not in my computer

).

RZetlin · July 22nd, 2003

But how functional is Win98 in that state?

From the screenshot it looks like Win98 is running in 256 colour VGA graphics mode only.

**Kirby** · July 22nd, 2003

that cannot be 256 color, more like 16 color. Wounder if it can be used for Wine?

**n_w95482** · July 23rd, 2003

To me it looks like 640x480 256 colors (like safe mode). I should get that for my comp since I'm running out of hd space

.

DB7 · July 23rd, 2003

From what I see this doesn't run from a hard drive but rather a fixed piece of memory.
If this is the case would you not have to have all the drivers for your hardware ready, I guess this is why they can charge for something like this, you send them all your system specs and they create the custom chip.
