Hi,
I have win95 on a cdrom but the laptop I want to install it on T2100
only has a floppy drive. If I can move the win95 set up files to the
laptop hard disk can I install it from there? Which of the large number
of file son a win95 cdrom do I need?
I do have a sparq 1Gb drive that can be connected by parallel cable. I
think I can move the contents of the cdrom via that to the laptop.

regards Steve

Create two partitions on the hard drive, C: and D:. Copy the
WIN95 directory contents to a directory called D:\WIN95.
Go to the D: drive and go to the WIN95 subdirectory. The
prompt should look like D:\WIN95. If all the files are there
you should be able to type "SETUP" without the quotes of
course and the install should start. Make sure the C: drive
is formated but empty. If it is the first release, format the
drives with FAT16. You'll be limited to 2G per partition.
Once the install in finished, you'll have to add the drivers for
all the devices after that.

good luck,
charles.....
