Got to thinking about something while on computing.net's Win95 board.
What would be the smallest "usable" installation of Win95 given the following parameters:
1. Has to have the Explorer interface (not IE, just windows explorer)
2. Has to have the following "accessories": A calculator, text editor, system tools (i.e. defrag/scandisk)
3. Has to have internet and e-mail capabilities via dial-up or network.
4. All programs must operate in Win'95 (not a DOS-box), but anything can be 16-bit replacements for any of the Windows 32-bit equivalents' (you'll understand what I mean if you saw my response at computing.net).
Bonus:
Throw an "office-suite" at it and keep it all under 40MB (not counting swapfile)...
Any takers?...
I'm thinking of trying it out one free weekend day on an old clunker, just to see the results... |

This would have to be Win95, not Win 3.1 skinned to look like 95, right? |
