If your 486 is a DX, if you have 64Mb RAM, and if you had 20Mb of disk space
to spare (minimum requirements for W98, excepting W98SE), you can load W98
in its "lite" or laptop version from bootable disks. W95's another matter
though -- You'd need a copy of DOS 5.0 or better up and running to load it.
Either way, you'll also need to remember your formatting and partitioning:
98/85 run on FAT16, and are limited to 2GB partitions (98SE allows FAT32,
and can hand 4TB partitions). Is/are your drive(s) compatible?
Cheers!
