Yes it would be a great idea to do – IF it was possible!
You request are reasonable – but there are limits to length of letters in “signature” – and I’m already facing that limit!
However I could of course put in a log in download – but as users tend to NOT read even the basic “READ_ME.html” in download, it seems to be waste of time and efforts :(

Note: basically there aren’t that much changes in script over the time – at least not that much that it should create problems to “old users” when using latest updates ???
Most of changes in script are simply “better looking” etcetera :cool:

First of all…
Be aware that only testing in VMware can be a little hazardous :O

VMware is great but not 100% bullet proof.

Anyway…

I’m unsure what you exactly having problems with here ???
You create a DOS-floppy image and let autoexec.bat launch ghost exe.
In EasyBoot menu you use menu command:  run ****.img (or what ever the name is to your ghost-floppy image)

Quote: ”run win98 setup so I can install fresh win98SE on old systems”
Same here, you use a DOS floppy image and set path in autoexec.bat to win98-setup files (files can be put anywhere in some folder – only change path in autoexec.bat)
Quote: ”run win98 setup ..... upto CD drive OK then no read from CD ROM”
Do you launch driver-support for CD\DVD-unit in floppy image (floppy image that launch setup of win98)?
If not – the setup system in win98 is unable to “see” CD\DVD-unit!

Quote: ”run DOS 7 (Win98SE Dos files)”
Same as above – you launch DOS floppy image using “run ***.img” in EasyBoot menu

Quote: ”Run DOS 6.22”
Exactly the same as above!

Well it is possible to use the root (or a subfolder) as well :;):

In “normal” case you simply put files (typically setup98.img) in folder ezboot (the “BOOT”-folder) and use menu command: run setup98.img OR use: memdisk setup98.img
If you put “SETUP98.IMG” on the root - which for EasyBoot is folder disk1 – you can Change Directory with following command:  cd /;run setup98.img

You can create a subfolder anywhere :O
Let’s say you create a subfolder in folder ezboot and name folder images.
You then put setup98.img in folder images and use menu command:  run /ezboot/images/setup98.img

Or create a subfolder with the name images on the root.
You the use menu command:  run /images/setup98.img

He, he there are hided “secrets” here and there in EasyBoot :;):
