I have a question about Using
.CAB Files:
There are 107 cabfiles in my cabdirectory in DOS taking up 110,107,185 bytes. 57
of them with identical number of bytes, e.g.1,716,224 bytes. Can they be eliminated
without harming th operation of the system ?

They're surely a copy of the Win98 CDROM, used for Windows installation and
system file access. Having them copied to the hard drive has its advantages. If you
use a retail Windows CD, you could delete them all to preserve drive space.
Before you do though, posting your systems make and model information would be
helpful. Some manufacturer's require the cab files during use of their recovery CD's.
