A:i wanted to see if i could do it, B: i thought it could be handy next time windows dies[which is often],i could use it help recover pc, C: with palladium coming i think we need as many alternatives as possible,its got basic apps,some games,a antivirs program,a web browser,better than nothing!

But, it's Windows 3.1. You can do 95...

[betaman2003]

yer, i know,i want to do a win95 or 98 cd ,i was playing around with mini-windows and i thought i wonder if i could make a win3.1 cd,i thought it would be good practice for making a win95 cd,i will give go in the near future,from what i have read win95 is easyer to do than win98.

What about the linux live cd's?
They already provide a basic os with many extra's without a hd needed.

A distro like knoppix for example.
