Help with installing WIN98 - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Users who have installed windows98 have all used the setup command, but while typing setup, have you ever thought that there are many mysterious commands after setup? Let me unveil the mystery of the parameters after setup below. What wonders are there? Come with me and see,
　　

　　Remember, there must be a space after setup.

　　/? Help related to the usage and syntax of some command-line parameters of the setup command.

　　/c Do not install Smartdrive disk cache.

　　/d Ignore the initial settings of the existing version of winsows. If the user is reinstalling windows because windows system files are missing or damaged, this parameter can be used.

　　/f Ignore searching for files in the local filename cache. This makes installation take a little longer, but uses very little memory.

　　/ia Do not run the section in setup.ini.

　　/ib Do not run the section in setup.ini.

　　/ic If this parameter is used and =1 is not set, then Confifg.sys/Autoexec.bat will not be run at startup.

　　/id Ignore checking the minimum disk space required to install windows98.

　　/ie Do not create a boot disk. If this parameter is used, the windows\command\ebd folder will likewise not be created.

　　/ig Can run setup on some Gatewayh and Micro computers containing earlier BIOS versions.

　　/ih Run Scandisk in a prominent way. Using this parameter helps the user clearly understand the results during Scandisk or when errors occur. 　　/il Install the Logitech mouse driver. If the user is using a Logitech Series C mouse, this parameter can be used.

　　/im Ignore the check for low conventional memory.

　　/in Do not execute the network installer. Skip network software and network settings screens.

　　/iq Do not check cross-linked files.

　　/ir Do not update the master boot record (mbr).

　　/is Do not run Scandisk.

　　/iv Skip displaying the installation screens during windows upgrade installation.

　　/m Skip playback of audio/video (.wav) files during installation.

　　/n Run setup without a mouse.

　　/na# #=0 default

　　#=1 Do not check Windows-based programs; arrange MS DOS-based programs.

　　#=2 Do not check ms-dos-based programs; arrange Windows-based programs.

　　#=3 Do not check Windows or ms-dos programs.

　　/DOMAIN：domain_name Set the valid Windows NT logon domain name for Microsoft network users to name _domain.

　　/nd Ignore the Migration.dll file and force windosw98 to overwrite newer files

　　/nf After “Copying windows98 files to your computer” is finished, the prompt “remove the floppy disk from drive A” will not appear. This parameter is generally used when the user installs windows98 with a bootable CD. It is equivalent to setting bootCD=1 in the Msbatch.inf file.

　　/nh When running setup in the windows 95 user interface, do not run Hwinfo.exe.

　　/nm Ignore the check for the minimum processor required to run windows 98 (66MHZ 486).

　　/nostrt Copy the minimum installation version of the dynamic link library files (DLLs) required to install windows 98, then do not install windows 98 and instead return directly to ms-dos.

　　/nr Ignore the registry check.

　　/nx Do not check the version of setupx that is currently running.

　　/pi Preserve hardware-specific settings (the hardware uses default settings). Some BIOS versions require the hardware to work according to specific settings. By default setup deletes hardware-specific settings, causing some hardware not to work properly.

　　/pj Install Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) by default, using this to directly shut down windows98.

　　/ix Ignore character checking.

　　/iw Skip displaying the license agreement during installation.

　　/u:upi Specify upi

　　For example: using setup /is/ie/iv/pj during installation means: do not perform disk scanning, do not create a boot disk, do not run the bulletin board, and install the windows98 (ACPI) function by default!!

　　So, these are the parameters of the windows98 setup command! With them you can save quite a bit of installation time, and they also make installation more convenient!

I know how to install WIN98 but there’s one command I’ve never been able to use it’s the command to skip the checks during installation, I don’t understand it, please teach me the complete process I’ve seen other people use it. But it went by too fast, something like IS IE, I don’t remember clearly. I’m asking everyone here. Also, how can I make rebooting faster. The WIN98 system.

Heh. I’d also really like to know how to skip the self-check. But if you want WIN98 to start faster, we can only use Startup (MSCONFIG) in WIN to remove the unnecessary things, and also go into the BIOS and change a few things, then WIN98 will boot much faster, because WIN98 is not like WIN2000 and later systems, and this method is not very complete for it either, so there are too few places that can be changed. That’s what I know. If any friend knows anything else, please be sure to tell me, thanks in advance, !!! Heh!!!
