Wily --

If you don't mind -- what's a stripped win98?

In the installation of Win98 there comes the query from the installation Wizard ....

"what type of install do you wish to perform --
typical ===== recco
xxxxx ==== something else, I don't remember
compact === recco for laptop
custom ==== select what to install ......."

Now the terms I used to describe this are not verbatim ......ggg
but
I normally select the custom install
and
find that this cuts the room required to nearly a third of a full installation
and
makes the loading at initial boot faster than Win95 with a full version.

I've done no actual timed tests, so the feeling of speed could well be imaginary in my feeble head, but I know the room required is much less.
