Probably the easiest will be to use a parallel cable
connection (laplink style) between the laptop and the
computer with the CD-ROM.
Copy all the X:\Win95 files (X: = CD-ROM) to the
laptop C:\Win95 and run the Win 95 setup.exe from
there.
This 1) eliminates the ENDLESS disk swapping of the
install process (it took me two hours when I did it
from diskette) and 2) ensures that all your CAB files
are available for those magical moments when you
install a new printer or modem.
If you do not have the software needed for such
a transfer, I can provide it, although I'm sure
it's easy to obtain.
