hello,
i was lucky enough to have saved a windows 98 CD from an old computer of mine. i recently got a mac and installed parallels on it and have had amazing success setting up an xp VM and a fedora core VM. i would like to play some old video games that dont work on XP because they require DOS mode or check the OS to maqke sure it isnt NT based and bail if it is. i have the original win98 CD and boot floppies.
i tried installing FreeDOS to just get the VM HDD formatted and then run the setup off the CD. however i keep getting the error. "windows 98 requires 16 meg of memory" which i know the VM has cause i set it to 128meg.
can anyone point me to a floppy disk image for booting with CDROM support for installing windows 98 or a HOWTO for installing windows 98 onto a VM?
thank you for any assistance.
