Win98 is far more susceptible to viruses than 200 or XP, its security is almost non-existent, and there aren't a great deal of viruses that won't infect a 98 machine but will infect a 2000 machine.
Yeah, W98 is more susceptible to viruses, but... no new viruses are created for it. And old viruses are long gone. Just try and connect to the internet with W98 (no firewall, no antivirus) and see what happens; noting (I've tried). Then do the same with WXP (turn off the firewall and the antivirus). That's what I meant.
I do know that WXP is more stable than 98, I never tried to say 98 is better, but for some things like using less memory resources, I think 98 is still a good O.S.
Although Win98 users would be able to download the volumes, they would still need a NTFS partition to extract the image to!

I didn't mean to compress the .ISO file in .RAR volumes. I meant to compress the DVD into 2 .RAR volumes (no need of 95) instead of into an .ISO file. In both cases the data contained cannot be altered.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that points; I understand your reasons and I see that most of the people here has no problems with large .ISO files, so that's it. No problem. It was just an idea to make DVDs more shareable (and to be able to download them in first place, of course).
Thanks for your time.
