Changes[edit | edit source]

  • The EULA shown during setup has been changed.

Bugs, quirks and observations[edit | edit source]

  • VGA driver in the first half of the setup is broken. Gray elements are displayed in black, which makes black texts unreadable.
  • The Super VGA driver after the installation is broken, however, third party drivers such as drivers from S3 Graphics work flawlessly.
  • The README.TXT text file mentions August 1995, despite this build being compiled in May 1995.
