This is a CD image containing drivers, updates and utilities judged to be

"essential" (or at least likely to be very useful) when setting up a new

Windows 9x system.

    apps        - Programs and applications

    dos         - MS-DOS utilities that are also useful on Win9x.

    dlls        - Common DLLs that may be missing on a new Win9x system.

    drivers     - Drivers for common devices

    fonts       - Fonts

    idlers      - Idler utilities (background programs that free up the

                  CPU when nothing is running)

    powertoy    - The Microsoft Powertoy collections.

    updates     - Important system updates you may need.

    win3        - Small collection of drivers and updates for Windows 3.1.

This is a bootable CD. Boot from this disc to get a minimal FreeDOS

system that contains:

 * Patcher9x, which fixes CPU bugs that make new Win9x systems unbootable.

 * Memtest86+ hardware memory tester

 * XFDISK partitioning tool
