00:25 🔗 bai hmm, if I recall, for win95 you have to boot real ms-dos using a bootable .img, rather than mounting the image as a drive and trying to run commands off of it
00:26 🔗 bai if w95.img is prepared to be used by dosbox, then hopefully that means it's ghot all the bootable flags you want, and it's a matter of configuring dosbox.ini to mount the image and boot from it instead of booting dosbox's fake DOS environment
00:28 🔗 bai oh yeah I see, you mount it with imgmount and then run `boot -l a`
00:30 🔗 bai you might need a separate dos622.img or newer, mount that as a:\ and win95.img as c:\, and then boot from the dos image
00:30 🔗 bai http://dosbox95.darktraveler.com/guide%20part%203.html
00:32 🔗 bai I tried mounting w95.img and booting off of that and it seems to have just hung
00:32 🔗 bai so yeah, try throwing a dos bootdisk in alongside w95.img
00:33 🔗 bai I think the -t floppy and -t hdd flags are also important
01:37 🔗 SketchCow I suppport you or DFJustin taking a shot.
01:37 🔗 SketchCow I got it working, by the way.
01:37 🔗 SketchCow You have to:
01:37 🔗 SketchCow mount a win95.img
01:38 🔗 SketchCow boot win95.img while in C drive
01:38 🔗 SketchCow And then press F8 to boot into safe mode
01:38 🔗 SketchCow K L U N K Y but it does work
01:38 🔗 SketchCow It's 60mb though
01:38 🔗 SketchCow http://screenshotgun.textfiles.com/ if you've not been watching.
01:39 🔗 SketchCow New screenshotter is basically bulletproof AND I can run 4 at once.
01:39 🔗 SketchCow so FINALLY the Amiga is getting screenshot
01:56 🔗 bai cool, easier than I thought
01:56 🔗 bai glad the new screenshotter's working out too
02:01 🔗 bai there are probably at least 10-20 megs of fat we could cut off of this w95 image to make a bare minimum one like we have for win3.1
02:01 🔗 bai lots of bmps, installers for IE and a couple online services
02:02 🔗 bai 10 megs of help files
02:03 🔗 bai almost 6mb of wavs
02:38 🔗 SketchCow I am up for anything
02:51 🔗 SketchCow I wish x86 worked
02:51 🔗 SketchCow But it doens't
02:51 🔗 SketchCow It's too obscure and weird
06:14 🔗 DFJustin can probably swipe the minimal image from http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows95 at least
06:25 🔗 bai huh. looking at the network tab as I'm using that image, it looks like that's not one image, but hundreds of 'em
06:25 🔗 bai like they split it into one image per file, or per group of files or something like that
06:26 🔗 bai so it's loading new images in on-demand as you browse the filesystem
