Get Win95 CD-ROM. preferably the Panasonic one for that machine. 2. On SOME OTHER computer, copy the I386 directory of the CD to floppies. You may need to use a Zip program or a backup program, instead of COPY, if any of the files are larger than the floppy. 3. On the Psnasonic, make an I386 subdirectory. 4. Copy the floppies into that subdirectory. 5. Install Win95 from that directory. IFF you have the right disc in step 1, THAT is how you instsll WIN95 without a CD-ROM drive on the destination machine. There are some alternatives, such as "network install". NOTE: WIN98 SR2 is generally preferable to WIN95. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
