If it works from the CD but not from the install files, then the problem is because the CD is loading some kind of driver on boot (probably XMS via config.sys) whereas your default boot is not. The windows 98 install screen is displayed, and an error appear telling: windows 98 requires a computer with at least 16 Mb of memory.īooting from the Windows 98 install CD works, both when FreeDOS is first installed and when it is not, surprisingly.
I boot on FreeDOS, switch to D:, and run 'install /p j' or 'install'.
