After the installation a new blue background is displayed instead of the green and it also includes updates programs and settings, like the new Add/Remove dialog based on HTML, some programs have been moved around the Start Menu and it also includes a Beta Media Player 5.2 which carries version 6.

Fixes

Installation
Create your own Setup Floppy's, by running winnt /OX from the i386 folder on the CD-ROM from DOS.
It requires 3 Floppy's formatted as DMF.

fdc.sys
fdc.sys causes a BSOD (Black Screen of Death), so after installation boot to Safe Mode with Command Prompt and type copy D:\WINNT\System32\Drivers\null.sys D:\WINNT\System32\Drivers\fdc.sys, it must be done quick or it causes the BSOD.
