Okay, let's not argue about whether it's real or not, because doing so is against the rules. Anyway, Windows 97 is not the first few builds of Memphis, version number of Windows 97 is 4.20, and all Memphis builds are version 4.10
and motherboardlove, I don't any proof that Windows 97 is real, but I'm not going to get into that

I just don't lnow how to do that i know that i need a boot setor but iwas wondering if someone who nows how could save some space for example there is a Windows XP 9in1 or AIO (search Google or "download sources") that has XP pro, home, and MCE in a 6xxMB image. When opened it says that it is 2-3GB! I read that whoevere made it made it so that files that are TOTALLY EXACTLY th same are not copied multiple times. That's what I want. Like a 95-98-ME cd that is really a CD or up to 800MB.

The standard cdrom i use for 98SE installs is a composite 95/98SE/ME build. It has MSDOS 6.22 and Windows + Wfw 3.11 on it too, because the installed versions are all upgrades, and ye need an older version to go.
Code:
ADD-ONS from the winme cdrom ADMIN from the win98 cdrom BIN home-grown stuff COPYOVER copy this over win9x after install DATALINK from the win95 cdrom DOS dos 7.1 extracted and fixed up [inc the EBD files] DRIVERS new stuff, eg usb for win98 [hover + pictures only] FUNSTUFF from the cdrom - get rid of the movies INSTALL at the moment, just bitmap files OTHER from the win95 cdrom PATCHES home grown PLUS95 from diskettes - inc msminus, my thinned out msplus/95 PLUS98 from a zip file - four apples extracted for separate install README text files from w0950 w1214 w1998 w2222 and w3000 RESKIT from the reskit/98 cdrom - a directory for win95 reskit TOOLS from the win98 cdrom - inc resource kit samples. WIN9X from the winme cdrom b3000 - we delete the AVI here. WIN31 from diskette images. The 'dual-boot' install allows post install WIN95 from the win95 cdrom, b0950 WIN98 from the win98SE cdrom, b2222 autorun.inf just the icon d1.dsk the boot disk, including jo.sys (press any key) win95cd.ico from the win98 cdrom
It is taken as valid source for upgrades for, say Win2k or WinXP.
Keeping the same directory structure allows for programs that copy things from the cdrom to do their things,
There's supposed to be a version of it running around with the DOS addins (the 6.22 files from Win95), modified to run straight under DOS 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0. I wrote an installer for each of these. (ie what's in 95:\other\oldmsdos that requires setver to be loaded.
One version was running around that had files lifted from betas, including EDIT listed as 'chicago emergency editor', and MSD 3.00 (with a non-functioning to registry).

AFAIK, the ISO 9660 file system doesn't actually have any support for symbolic links and it's some sort of hack. I have a 15-in-1 XP disc on a DVD, but it's still about 1.3 GB. I would love to know if there is some easy way to do this.
