There is a similar way to get a legal (but not licensed) copy
of Win 98 SE to your computer.
You just have to grab a backup copy of a friend (which in contrast
to the official CDs does not bear the mark "you aren't entitled to
make unlawful copies" (translation de->en by me)) and install from
it, it doesn't ask for accepting the license. Then do a bit of registry
voodoo under DOS just after the first restart, and voil'a.

And yes, I do know how to handle it. Yes, I know about kill-
rules, too. So WTF do you still bother filling my syslog?
