We strongly recommend Windows 98 Second Edition as it fixes many bugs from FE and has more application support.
==Prerequisites==
===QEMU===
You'll need [[QEMU/Installation|QEMU]] installed.
===Windows 98 QuickInstall===
Windows 98 without any patches is very, very unstable under QEMU, with bugs such as hanging on reboot, hanging on DOS prompt, hanging randomly, you get the picture. For this reason, we'll be using the [https://github.com/oerg866/win98-quickinstall Windows 98 QuickInstall Project] for this guide, which bundles multiple patches to greatly improve the stability under QEMU.
==Starting up==
===Installation===

<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 win98.img 4G</pre>
