Thanks for nice feedback. Anyway just to clarify some stuff…

Quote: ” what does mscdex.exe /D:tomato /L:X mean and is it really supposed to be tomato”
“tomato” is just a “name substitute”. You may call it “potatoes” or “Pluto” or whatever. Note: Same name must be in “name substitute” in config.sys file. No need to change this.

And yes, I don’t now exactly what version of WinMe (or win98)-CD you are using. But as you pointed out: “it's setup.exe in my case”. Good point there. But in my case it is “install.exe”. No big deal, you figured it out your self…
