Casey posted his question about a win-98 upgrade package in
m.p.wxp.general on April 24.
This is *after* he posted a win-98 question in m.p.w98.gd on March 28 -
and he should have seen the active thread that resulted over the next
few days. That should have told him the group is still active - when it
wants to be.
There never was anything called the "Windows 98 10'th anniversary
edition".
Not by Microsoft, of course; soporific definitely gave it that name.
We had this exact same discussion back in March 2011.
We determined that this torrent:
Window98.ubcd.feb2008.Ajeetgagan.torrent
Which is this file:
Windows98.UBCD.Feb.2008.iso (718 mb)
Which is called or described as:
Windows 98 Unattended Boot & Installation CD - February 2008
-Ajeetgagan
Which according to this:
http://h33t.to/torrent/65405/windows...-cd-ajeetgagan
describes itself as:
=================
Windows 98 second edition is old. Nearly 10 years old actually. These
days straight out of the box, Windows 98 needs a lot of work just to get
it to the point when you could possibly think about using it. And even
then, you'd have to do lots of research to find out what what updates
are available and what limitations still exist, in order to use it
confidently in 2008. This is a shame because there's probably still
thousands upon thousands of machines out there that don't have the
hardware to run Windows XP or Vista but could handle Windows 98 easily
due to there being so few processes running compared to a Windows XP
machine. For machines near the minimum hardware requirement for Windows
XP, in lots of cases if you setup it up right, the machine will run
faster with Windows 98 on it than with XP.
Gee, wouldn't it be good if there was a CD that defeated every single
obstacle that prevents Windows 98 second edition from being able to be
used in 2008, and it installed everything automatically without you
needing to do anything except format a hard disk, even installing
drivers for the latest chipsets, and also nVidia and ATi video cards?
This is that CD.
=================
Which contains this as the one of the installation options as listed in
a readme file:
=================
I .... Install Windows 98 - 10'th year anniversary edition ..... 1
=================
So that project had two working names:
Windows 98 Unattended Boot & Installation CD- February 2008 -Ajeetgagan
and
Windows 98 - 10'th Year Anniversary Edition
I downloaded that torrent years ago, and occasionally seed it when I'm
running utorrent.
I also re-packed the ISO file as a set of rar files which I uploaded

FYI -
Some members of MSFN (ie Drugwash, maybe others) seem to be posting and
having win-98 related conversations he

This topic was part of a thread on that site last year.
