Just in case anyone didn't realise, this is neither new nor very hard smile.gif

It's just running it under QEMU on linux and putting up with the lack of free RAM. smile.gif

It is indeed old news, but it is new to me! Another reason i wrote this tutorial is because it seemed that the websites for the other tuts. had dissapeared! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

FAB! i had this done ages ago then i saw some activity in this section of the forum and thought i may help out, win98 works at near perfection just needs some tweaks and got the sound to work in qemu when i messing about with it on the pc before i transferred it to the xbox, although i never got the sound working for xdsl apparently i got to download some alsa s**t but cant get my head around on all these linux commands...so it was pointless for me to get the windows sound to work
ps hope you can sort out the xdsl sound problem and write a tut for that as well lol...
pss lol no its not in the xdsl install you realise that'll take like 10hrs! lol you do the install on the pc then transfer the image file and the qemu folder and the 98.sh files to the e: drive of the xbox...
psss sorry i could have wrote this a little clearer its 1am time to hit the sack..

I already have it working perfectly (or almost) (no sound) in XDSL with 512 ram for qemu to use!
Im writing the tutorial now.

P.S. I find all this Extremely Easy, mostly because I've been doing stuff like this for 4 years. I believe my record number of times for installing windows in one day is 6, Today im up to 2!

Oh, sure. I didn't mean to imply you've not done something useful - there was indeed a lack of clear documentation for this one, and people around here obviously want that!

I'm just heading off the stupid questions from people who don't understand virtualisation, who have a tendency to assume progress where none exists.
