Setting up windows without any input devices
Setting up windows without any input devices
What you're asking about is a 9x system, which refers to an operating system architecture. The x86 systems are well-known, but 9x is another term often used for older OS versions. The comment about Packard bells and CPU types seems to be a mix of unrelated tech talk, so focus on the OS part. It sounds like you're considering installation advice and have some concerns about performance and compatibility.
I don't understand why you're hitting him when he's just making a joke. The only kid I see here is you.
Perhaps the humor was just missed, but it's not a big issue. I attempted to offer some suggestions based on the available details, considering factors like the specific computer setup and operating system experience. Also raised some reasonable queries: the exact hardware specs—such as the computer model, RAM, CPU, and other peripherals—matter. Was there any prior experience with DOS or creating bootable disks? Likely, the necessary drivers are on the Win95 CD, though it only includes a limited selection. Systems bundled with Win9X usually came with their own driver CDs, and if not, you’ll need to obtain them online. It’s also worth checking the CPU and RAM configuration. Win 3.11 works better with less than 8MB of RAM, and installing different window managers shouldn’t be too time-consuming. I think Win95 should run on most x86 systems with at least 4MB of RAM, though usability varies. You could also transfer Win3.11 along with any compatible Win9X or 3.X/2.X floppy files to an external drive and use the installer from there, especially if the original drive is faulty. I’ve done this with Win 3.11 before; according to what I remember, even MS-DOS 6.22 could be used if needed.
