Only 46MB required for a 98Lite install of Windows 98, 121MB for Windows 98. Out of 800MB, I =think= there's enough room to load up Office 97, Mozilla, Photoshop, and a couple other programs before it all runs of room. Besides, Knoppix runs off a single CD, so there you go -- no problems running a handful of commonly used applications on either Linux or Windows on a 800MB HD. (Makes you wonder, too. What in the world did MS throw into XP that bloated a 121MB, 1806 file install of Windows 98 into a 1/2GB, 10k+ file install of XP?!? It's not like we can't do anything with our files that we couldn't do in XP in 98. No wonder our PCs are so slow today....) |

However, they won't operate for long. They have very limited number of write cycles. Tell that to my 800MB 2.5" flash drive I picked up cheap off ebay.com that's running just fine in my notebook. flash cells typically are rated in the 100,000 cycles per cell lifespan, and with automatic write balancing, drives can last years w/o any problems at all in most user environments. In "most user environments" Windows is constantly updating the swap file, which will kill a flash drive very quickly. If you're not running Windows that's another story but then you're not running anything characteristic of "most user environments". -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

http://www.litepc.com/98micro.html Only 46MB required for a 98Lite install of Windows 98, 121MB for Windows 98. How about a version of Windows that is actually in production? In case you have noticed Microsoft quit selling 98 some time ago. Out of 800MB, I =think= there's enough room to load up Office 97, Mozilla, Photoshop, and a couple other programs before it all runs of room. That might be--2K and Office 2000 left 3 gig out of a five gig disk. And that was only a partial O2K--a full install had several more apps from the first CD and 3 more to go. Besides, Knoppix runs off a single CD, so there you go -- no problems running a handful of commonly used applications on either Linux or Windows on a 800MB HD. (Makes you wonder, too. What in the world did MS throw into XP that bloated a 121MB, 1806 file install of Windows 98 into a 1/2GB, 10k+ file install of XP?!?

Actually, they threw 98 compatibility into NT. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Tell that to my 800MB 2.5" flash drive I picked up cheap off ebay.com that's running just fine in my notebook. flash cells typically are rated in the 100,000 cycles per cell lifespan, and with automatic write balancing, drives can last years w/o any problems at all in most user environments. In "most user environments" Windows is constantly updating the swap file, which will kill a flash drive very quickly. If you're not running Windows that's another story but then you're not running anything characteristic of "most user environments". What if we disable the swap file? I wonder if anyone has actually tried running Windows on a flash disk, or if everyone has just been scared off by the write-cycle limitation. I have an extra 256MB flash card, maybe I will try running Win98 off it. A CF to IDE adapter goes for less about $20. WinXP embedded can run from flash disk: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...mpactFlash.asp |
