glix81 Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 Its taking longer then I thought but my computer is nearly ready for the install. Ive had to repartition, and make rescue disks and such. Im getting ready to distroy my XP partition, and I have saved all my media and such worth saving onto a seperate safe partition. Im going to keep a copy of Windows 98se. as a backup OS, and a spring board to install all of my other OS's. Im going to install the following OS's PCDOS 2000 Lindows Cairo (NT 5) Neptune (2000 se) I think its about time that someone do a screenshot based walk through of the process of installing these OS's and testing them out. Im going to document the whole process. Does anyone know how to take screenshots when in dos, or during and installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSK Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 "Cairo" - Windows 98 beta (or 95, not sure now...), any1 remember "The Road to Cairo?" Neptune - Win2k successor that only existed as Alpha, I tried it a looooooong time ago - it had a nice Welcome screen and some things fixed, but that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yeah I second the above guys notion I thought Cairo was 95 or 98 but yeah I didnt think it was NT5. I just didnt have any evidence I still dont, but this guy backs me up. All I know is 9x were marked Memphis Chicargo and Cairo and im thinking Cairo must be 95, well youve only got three choices 95, 98, 98SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why anyone would want screen shots etc, but if someone did one of the best ways to install an os and take screen shots would be virtual pc.

Glowstick Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Uhm, Neptune is old ****, most of it has gone into Whistler. Cairo was mainly Windows 2000 with that object oriented filesystem and no GUI goodies. So why screenshots?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoinebj Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I'll enlighten all of you: Chicago = Windows 95 Cairo = Windows NT5 = Windows 2000 Memphis = Windows 98 Neptune = Windows NT 5.1 that never made it. Whistler = Windows XP. Longhorn = after Windows XP. Blackcomb = after Longhorn. So only Neptune was dumped. Cairo is "alive" and named Windows 2000.

Tenebrious_Star Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 How do you expect to even post more then one screen shot per installation, and thats IF you can save a screen to a clipboard before an OS is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
