Run "RENAME CONFIG.TSH CONFIG.SYS", and then do a "MD WIN95" to create a C:\win95 >directory on your HDD. Actually, I've ALWAYS managed to get away with no config.sys or autoexec.bat ... ya Win95 screams and moans, I just ignore it and found it actually runs a tad FASTER! Also, instead of making a directory c:\win95 and c:\drivers and copying the stuff there, make a directory c:\windows\options\cabs and copy ALL the junk there then run the install (don't create a drivers directory, just dump all the stuff there). When you do the install it'll want to install to c:\windows.000 (because it sees an existing c:\windows), just delete the '.000' and it'll be fine. That prevents you having a copy of the .cab files in both places AND it stops Windows from trying to use both c:\windows\options\cabs and the initial install directory (because it only ever HAD c:\windows\options\cabs!). >8. Remove the FDD, insert the CD-ROM card, reboot and then run setup.exe from >C:\win95. Umm ... why bother with the CD-ROM card when all the files are already on the HDD? Better keep the PCMCIA slot free, the libby needs all the cooling it can get during an install! >9. When Windows finally boots to the desktop and asks for drivers, navigate to the >files you put in C:\DRIVERS. OK correction, if you need to run the install programs for the drivers then dump them into a drivers dir ... if they're extracted and have all the .inf files sitting there then just put them into c:\windows\options\cabs (or wherever you dumped the Win95 files) and Windows will pick them up a lot quicker. Hope this helps! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
