== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 3.1 ISO which styles the OS with a Windows 95 theme and even includes some old customization programs to complete the look
The setup used is a completely custom one, using a specialized Windows 3.1 PE running a Delphi-based installer. The installation is done using a batch script which copies the "mini 3.1" to the C drive (assuming the user has already formatted it) and runs the setup. A boot floppy is required to install the OS.
== Changes from Windows 3.1 ==
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* The setup has been completely replaced with a custom one
* New setup graphics. The setup background is the Windows 95 setup
* New boot graphics. The boot screen is changed to a Windows 95 style one. It is static due to technical limitations
=== Look and feel ===
* New default theme, and wallpaper. The default wallpaper is set to the Windows 95 setup, with the author's branding added and a copyright disclaimer on the top right
* The shell is replaced with Calmira, a Delphi-based Windows 95-like shell
== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* The start menu banner's text is renamed to Windows 97.
* You can launch the OS as a live CD from the startup menu.
