Re: Intro and questions
Thanks for all the responses. I did what I planned, re-installed
Win95 (OSR2) over the top of Win 98 Beta 2. It was a dismal failure,
of course. First re-install: the system would come up only in
Safe mode, and the only indication of a problem was a quick
flash of "KERNEL" on the blank bootup screen. I cleaned what I
could from the registry, etc., and re-installed Win95 again, and
then once more. That brought it up, but Mwave still wasn't found
so I reinstalled that from floppy, and it still wasn't found,
so forth. Spitting into the wind.
I ordered a 2.1GB replacement drive because my 1.2GB was full,
and I expect to get it in a day or two. Sounds like the right
time to just do a clean install of Win95 and copy by backup to
the new drive! FWIW, I liked Win98, and I may try a clean
install onto the old 1.2GB afterwards to see how it works.
But until it's released, I won't count on it for anything
important.
Thanks again for all the feedback. And, I can now connect to
the ftp site for this mailing list. I don't know what changed,
but it's letting me log in now.
