Is kainiakaria another name for "Hot-Text", or just something HT is
telling us about? (The above appears to be the link to this WULOS,
anyway - the below link is just to a non-copyright message.)

Windows Updates for Legacy Operating Systems (95-Vista)
by Microsoft

Publication date 2018
Usage http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/
Topics Windows 95, Windows 98SE, Windows 98 SE,

Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista

These ISO files contain the essential updates in order to
get Windows 2000, Windows XP (x86) and Windows Vista (x86 and x64) to
either
properly update or at best be able to install things such as drivers for
things
like video cards. This also contains updates for Windows 95, Wndows NT 4.0,
Windows 98SE and Windows ME. This will also contain the February 2004
Security
Update Disc as an additional download. I have also added additional stuff
as
well as reorganized a few updates. I have also reorganized my Windows NT
4.0
updates.

That last seems to be the correct link to get to this WULOS. Note that
the DOWNLOAD OPTIONS section within it doesn't work with older browsers
(the sort people here might be using!) - the drop-down lists don't
appear, in fact nothing does when you mouse over that section. If
anyone's interested, the link seems to be
https://archive.org/download/WULOS/W...es_95-XP32.iso, but note that
it's a 3.6G file, or the page says it is.

Has anyone investigated it? I presume he's added a _lot_ of "additional
stuff", as I doubt just updates would come to anywhere near that much.
(For example, has he actually included drivers? The above text doesn't
make that clear. If he has, it _could_ be useful, like soporific's
"tenth anniversary edition of Windows 98", which IMO was excellent -
though that actually included Win98 itself, i. e. it was an OS install
disc, whereas this _looks_ as if it's _just_ updates [plus "additional
stuff"].)
