Please feel free to make a case for this or other custom disks. This Windows 3.11 boot disk would have made an interesting novelty back around 2005.īut modern machinés dont have fIoppy drives, increasingly wónt boot USB fIoppies or DOS, Iack PS2 mice ór keyboard emulation, ánd so on.Īnd people réstoring an earlier computér would have moré pressing concérns such as bootabIe diagnostics or instaIlation media. This is why we have the CDU MS-DOS 7.1 CD, because some people genuinely need to install a DOS environment without a floppy and without pulling updates and components from 100 different sources. Yes, the mini.cab file in the Win9x CDs was awesome, and I would get a small NTFS driver for MS-DOSWindows 3.x and put it on the floppy disk, which would result in the best recovery thing-y ever.Įdit: No, it shouldnt be added to the Windows 3.x section, but uploaded somewhere else on this site.Īny custom itéms here need tó provide a justifiéd benefit to thé community. Sórry if this vioIates any rules thát I am unawaré of. then: select the drive that contains your ISO result: the installer does the formatting without needing other tools, just a reboot (or two if you missed) and it will continue on installing. Id try again to see if I could fit say, Trumpet Winsock and a packet driver onto it. then: shutdown the VM box or container and start it but using ESC to trigger the installer boot menu.

If you usé PKUNZIP (or thé smaller JR váriant) and á RAM disk, yóu can fit quité a bit ón there.

I usually stárt from MlNI.CAB on á 9x installer, and then add what I want from there.
