The Google search engine will provide the information you seek. For availability in local shops, you must ask locally. lastly,, the pinball-game (space cadet) works on windows m.e, which is a part of the 9x family, so how come i cant make it work on 98se? do i have to download a file or something to make it work? Later operating systems use programming methods unavailable in earlier OSs, e.g. XML. It is usually cheaper to upgrade than to tinker with the OS to add features unavailable when it was on the market. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Carlos: Linux live CDs are mostly intended to try a version of Linux before you install it. There are some live CDs that are intended mostly for diagnostics or troubleshooting a system that will not boot or are infected with a virus that prevents other virus removal tools from running. You can find a selection of Linux Live CDs he http://www.livecdlist.com/ This site: http://www.frozentech.com/ will sell you CDs/DVDs if you don't want to download a Live CD.

: SNIP Answers to what I have a clue about: is google earth workable on 98se? i thought i saw someone use it a few years ago, and they only had 98se? if it doesnt work in its raw form, has someone made it workable via programming? You can get the last 98se version he It's in English although the site is not. ===!!!!! LOTS of other great stuff - this applies to everyone, actually. Not /that/ hard to figure out what is what. !!!!!=== http://windows98.ic.cz I DL'd GE and installed it and it is a TOTAL waste of time. Maybe if you get the latest version and pay for the extras, it's impressive. But the free 98SE version is boring as hell. AFAICT, not real-time live, just a lot of disk space. Flying around the globe and seeing fuzzy buildings (at best) did not impress me, also the movement control sucks. You really need a very recent machine with a lot of RAM and the latest version if you want the real thing. Go to a cyber cafe and get your fill and then move onto more important things, like pinball ;-) Update: Just checked. AS much as I could make out from the Slovakian (or whatever), they ran out of space on their server and decided to remove the last 98SE GE (maybe it wasn't very popular - see my comments), but they say you can write to "p_filip___AT___seznam.cz" and he will do something - like post it to a file sharing site or maybe email you a big attachment. Who knows. Not worth it IMO, as I explained above. lastly,, the pinball-game (space cadet) works on windows m.e, which is a part of the 9x family, so how come i cant make it work on 98se? do i have to download a file or something to make it work? Google for ' "space cadet" pinball 98SE compatibility ' (use the " but not the '). There are MANY gaming sites which should help you. There are also a LOT of other pinball games if you can't make this one work - I haven't ever seen it, so it MAY be /uniquely/ charming, but I sort of doubt it. |
