Ok thanks for the info.

Btw if it's 32 bits will it still work on a 64 bit system?

Yes it will.
Most cpu's are 64bit nowadays but they still support lower architecture.
In windows task manager there ( at least there use to be ) an option that would hide 16bit tasks interestingly enough.

Since 64bit is just twice the size of 32bit, it's pretty easy to work in a 32bit manner :)

Ok thanks for the info. That reminds me, I had a CD of Windows 98 somewhere. I should maybe give this a try in VMware if I can get an image on my old computer just for fun...

Haha, you probably could :P
I myself have installed 98SE on a virtual machine just for kicks once actually :)
I'm right in the middle of converting the virtual machine over to something I can use with VirtualBox so I can test it.

I once downloaded Ubuntu 32BIT and tried installing it on my 64bit and it didn't work :S

That's probably due to the memory issues, not the actual code. I also had a strange occurence where a now-deprecated version of the linux kernel in 32 bit would not see my hard drive, except from a liveCD :P not kidding. It gave so many boot errors. 64 bit didn't have this problem, nor did anything in an i686 optimised build

You didn't include TilP?!?!?

As I've mentioned before, I intend too, I just haven't gotten around to adding it all yet.

EDIT: I seem to be not able to boot the OS on a virtual disk because it's missing things. I guess I'm going to have to copy it onto my usb and run from that.

Yeah, I found out it won't work because my CPU doesn't support PAE.  So, awesome.  I'm going to try downloading/burning for my other computer.

Hm. Well, it's obviously the kernel you are using that's the problem, but PAE should run fine on my CPU.

Apparently, although I don't know why this would happen.
I myself use the most recent linux kernel (albeit the ubuntu branch) with no problems. I guess I'll have to rebuild this and see if I can fix it or something.

Strange.  Both Ubuntu PAEs work on my computer. (Desktop and Server)

I actually went past the agreement thing with alt-Y and things like that, then tried to start X, but it isn't even installed...

Also, I could make a version based on Ubuntu or Arch Linux with all the tools preinstalled (will be somewhat harder though).

Ah ok, I thought x was installed. apparently things aren't showing up correctly I guess...strange.
A Ubuntu based version would be great Juju :)
I used the attached image for the logo if you want to use it at all.
