anyone have a copy of win95 on floppy
 

i need it for my laptop i use to data log and attempt tune with.dam thing has no cdrom drive

did win95 even come on floppies? its fairly big you know

hahahaha floppy

Windows 3.1 did ... and no, windows 95 did not come in floppies ... I guess ur SOL on that one dude, see if u can borrow an external cd-rom drive.

yeah it did like 10-14 floppys if i rember right.win 98+ was cd only

maybe i was thinking of 3.11 then could have sworn that was only 6 floppys though

Windows 95 was roughly 250MB in size ... ur gonna need about 200 floppies ... Windows 3.1 came in like 7 floppies, thats prolly what ur thinking of

Scratch that, I think your right ... but it was just the platform Win95 with no features. I only have the CD version... u might just wanna try WinME

Ya know I probably have all those floppies around, I'll look since I have nothing better to do

dammit lol quess i have to spring 10$'s for an internal cdrom for this laptop then.then again it already has 95 on it but i was gonna install linux on it also.just wanted a way to reinstall windows incase i buggered up the install.

thnx kasey

well i got linux installed woot,so i dotn think ill need those win floppys,dual boot ing win 95 and linux now,lol this old ass laptop runs so much better with nix

cant find em anyway :lol:

Win 3.1 came on 3 floppies (I have them). Never heard of '95 coming on floppy though - I thought it was CD only.

What flavor/distro of *nix are you running?

I got windows 95 full install on a 100mg zip disk. I used to run the LPT1 parallel port with the dos drivers. worked on my old p75 toshiba which i still used recently to do winaldl.

what in the blue hell did u say? nerds....

justin i used zipslack(slackware) to get a minimal install going. runs on fat/fat 32 parition or native linux pariton.after i got that up and running i just downloaded whatever software pakages i wanted and added them.
zipslack = 40 mb dl,basic linux install no x etc but comes wth every thing u need to get started unzips to about 100 mb
big slack is the same but it more of a full install including x windows etc and takes up roufly 900 mb and also runs on fat/fat32 linux paritions
i used zipslack since i wa slow on hd space and didnt want to chance screwing up my win 95 install making a new parition

i think what your thinkin of dave is the boot disk that cam with 95, they would ship it with a floppy that had the boot files on it so you could still install it even if your cd drive couldnt boot off of the cd

no windows 95 did infact come on floppy disk.the early versions.then it got released on cd's with more programs,the floppy install was about 14-17 floppys.

damn, that had to be a bitch to install

naw i used to have the floppys back when i had my old 486/50 mhz computer years ago,dont remeber it being a bitch to install.wish i could get my hands on another working floppy disk set,
justin whats the chance i could get u to make 3 zip files for me(one for each disk and let me dl them or email them to me.
its been so long but can u even get online with windows 3.1? i know u could install aol on windows 3.1 but thats about all i remeber

windows 3.1 when was that? :scratch: and why?

i believe you were still in the mother land my friend...

:google: :rofl:

windows 3.1 > * windows
