It's been a while since I've used nLite. Slipstreaming updates and drivers, great for speeding up XP installs, but even better if you're using RIS to do a network installation.
Why use PXE+RIS? Because I spent all of last night trying to get it to install from a USB stick, and couldn't get it working... :(
This just involves a bit of #samba and #tftp magic. #windowsxp
Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, blazing fast internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.
In 2007, I used to invite friends over to my place. Often, I would hear them burst into laughter when using the toilet.
This is a photo of my flush from 2007.
Looking for Netscape 7.0 PR1 in German for Windows. Already checked the usual suspects archive.org and evolt.org but had no luck. Any ideas? #Retrocomputing
Pro tip: If you’re installing Windows XP for fun these days, do yourself a favor and use a volume licensing ISO. These don’t require activation. #windowsxp#retrocomputing
I know reality shall trigger the #linux community so I can laugh more at the Windows haters (don't get me wrong I still like Linux for specific things, just prefer vanilla Debian over shitbuntu and derivatives)
My favorite Microsoft Ugly Xmas Sweater. "Windows XP": Bright, colorful & wonderfully ugly! I walk around with this & people can't help but whisper, "OMG, what in the..." 🤣
@landley And finally I want to be able to use some legacy hardware like my #P11Z for something else than just looking pretty and run #WindowsXP when it's high-resolution (1600*768px) screen begs for some fancy TUI desktop...
After all, it has the #GMA500 GPU without any good working #Linux driver [publicly available] and I'd rather want a OS that fits neatly in RAM whilst not restricting me too hard...
Windows Ugly Sweater: Dieses Jahr mit Windows-XP-Wiese
Microsoft bringt die sechste Auflage seines Ugly Christmas Sweater. Auf Karl Klammer folgt Bliss – so der Name des ikonischen Windows-XP-Hintergrundbildes.
