Hi,

I have a memory problem when trying to install win 95.  I have formatted my
hard disk.  I reboot with my boot disk, and type INSTALL in my D which is my
cd-rom containing win95.  But I immediately get a message saying something
like (I'll try translation from french) "THE INSTALLATION IS ONLY POSSIBLE
WITH MEMORY OVER 442 000 BYTE".

But I have a pentium 166 with 16meg of ram, intel motherboard TC430 and a
2,1 Gb hard drive.  I even tried installing win 98 and I have the save
problem.  I tried 2 boot disks:  one I made in win95 and the other I made in
win 98.

But the funiest thing is I am able to install win 95/98 when I install DOS
6.2 first.

Any idea!
Thank you very much!
Andre Chiasson
