We have 2 versions of windows 98 SE. First is needing boot from floppy and second is needing boot only from cdrom.

QEMU rocks. Nice howto, kadu.

It's worth knowing/remembering QEMU can also boot from ISO files, so it makes it pretty good for playing with new OS.

Have anyone tried to synchronize a handheld with Windows on QEMU using USB interface?

Has Anyone figured out how to install either 95 or 98 using boot floppy method?

I happen to have both and want to setup test installs for a couple of windows games w/o wine support.

I followed the instructions but used a Bootable CD with DOS on it and formatted C: manually copied the setup files to a directory on C: and installed from there.

You may be able to do the same by booting from /dev/fd0 with you 95/98 boot floppy.
