Wasn't till after register the domain I did the history research and Twigged on the name.
Some sleep then testing.

I like that this is basically a bunch of shell commands in text files, literate-devops style.
The theme is called Chicago95. |

Awesome article.
Leads me from pondering about creating a page about the build, when I get a valid enough version for me to push Lindows.AU. Like the style with the code blocks and gives me ideas on the Screenshots as well as the "scripts" themselves. Chicago 95 is win95 based but almost early win98 too plus the desktop background image idea is a piss take on XP. Once have a valid build not spitting "no cdrom" and "not a typewriter" errors, onto Branding and tweaks. Aiming for a Legacy Boot even if have to explain that process with log video for "standard" HP devices. But would prefer a Secure Boot key if Microsoft would issue before a proper V1 launch. |

So I just got a Live usb via Ventoy v0.9.
Time to tweak. Or swap back to cubic and accept the layer cake. Might stop the force push thru on launching anything. |
Assume it will need a re-build or more.
But a Ubuntu custom install working towards 98SE vibes to revive Grandma's PC.
