In Win 98 (all flavors) a real easy/cool way to prevent doublespace and drivespace
from loading on start-up is to add the two following lines to your MSDOS.SYS file
in C:\
(remember to remove the system, hidden, andread attributes from the MSDOS.SYS file
before editing and to copy these two lines exactly as entered here--note the lower
case "l" after "DB" in DBlSpace):
DBlSpace=0
DRVSpace=0
(after inserting these two lines and saving MSDOS.SYS, restore the system, hidden,
and read only attributes to the file--reboot, and presto! doublespace and drivespace
no longer load, whether they are deleted or not!)
