Pretty impressive how they have a working Win95 under 10MB and off a ram
disk.
Also read about a Win98 machine on 35MB Compact Flash, I might have to play
with this, it could be nice for a fast system.

And before you mention it, yes I do realise that Linux blah blah blah dont
care, I'm talking about Windows here.

Or better still with tcp/ip and mount a network disk?

In this case it does - an image editor to paste the screen capture into is
going to take up more space isn't it

Would the screenshot image be saved in memory?

Yep I've used "Bart's Network Boot Disk." as a stand
by recovery disk for a laptop I have with a broken
CD. The trouble I have is that I can not work out
how to free up enough memory to run the setup.exe
of win95.

I have to rely on DOS tools to reformat the C: disk, make it
bootable, copy the CD into a dir, reboot, and then run
(if memory serves me well) setup.exe.

It would be more elegant to be able to run the setup.exe
from the initial Bart's dos prompt but I have not been able
to do that.

If I could do the network stuff using win9[5,8] on a floppy this
would remove the memory constraint.

Compaq do it with their Smartstart CD Dave, have a compressed file
called Win95.exe which is 8mb. Run it and it decompresses all the
necessary Win95 files, about 15mb worth, & then fires up a customised
version of Windows.

A non-custom version would be quite useful for support work, could
run win32 utilities on machines that won't boot up properly.
