if you start mixing different versions you'll really get
problems, you have to make sure that the version numbers and
the language agree. i once installed dfu network from a
different but appearantly equal cd and totally screwed up
the whole system.

language is english - its 98 SE by the way - but im kinda
desperate so ill just hope the files are trivial.

if you take a normal win98 SE cd, make an ISO out of it,
then use an ISO editor to remove everything but files in the
root directory and the "win98" directory. you can remove
the online tools stuff out the win98 directory, too.

the ISO should only be a tad over 100MB. i'd send it to
you, but i'm in australia on terrible upload limited adsl -
i can only send at about 15kb/sec. somebody else should be
able to do this, though.

by the way, if you don't need to boot from the CD, all
somebody needs to do is zip up the "win98" folder and send
it to you (delete the online tools first to save some space
- it's not needed).

thats the same size as the corrupted file on the cd... its
worth a shot i think

nobsmuggler: thanks, but i didnt recieve anything yet

sneakattack: i think it just hasnt got enough memory.. thats
all

xf: ive found a faster source sharing at around 20 kb/sec..
and yeah, ive read about the /win98 folder on the intarwebs

everyone: thanks for looking up the files
