Win98's installation files are packaged in CAB format. We can extract them, use UPX to compress the files inside, then use IeXpress to package them back up, and also delete some files in the CAB packages that aren't needed when installing with 98LITE, such as IE, DX, etc. So I'm thinking the Win98 installation disc ought to be cut in half, right? I think a Win98 installed from a package like this should be much smaller than one installed directly with 98LITE.
