Yep. My install set for a time had a defective diskette #23 that was a
rather hammering experience, that far into the install. It only
mattered if you selected certain 'options' during the install, otherwise
you could avoid certain 'multimedia' features I believe, and it would
install properly.
Those of us who ever installed Slackware Linux from floppy diskettes
know a somewhat similar experience.
Yeah, but there was much more pleasurable anticipation in the
Slackware install. :)
IIRC, Slack v3.3 took 54 1.44MB disks.

The full OEM 3.5" floppy version of W95b is 29 disks. I have it
somewhere.
The installation was excruciating, on par with SCO OpenDesktop
