Windows woes

[Krymson]

Alright, Everyone gets annoyed at those "Please insert Windows 98 cd" messages right?
Here's a tip(Some of you guys probably already do this) Copy the entire windows 98 cd to your hard drive. That way, not only can you point windows to that folder when you need yer cd, you can also run setup of it in case your windows gets Fd up(Its a lot faster too).

Just thought I'd share a tip, If you guys know of any other nifty tips feel free to post.

Krymson, here's a handy .bat file to extract files off the W98 CD.

extrac32.exe /a /l c:\windows\temp h:\win98\Base4.cab %1 %2 %3 %4

where h: is my CDRom drive letter - substitute yours. Create a shortcut for it & on the command line that shows the .bat file's path in the shortcut, put a (space)? at the end. Then when you d-click the shortcut, a box comes up. Type the filename in it (up to 4 files each separated by a space) & you can use * as a wildcard. Puts the files in c:\windows\temp. This speeds up CDRom extraction if someone needed to save HD space.
