Hi,
What I've seen done is you make a little text file...call it what you want
(win95.txt?). Only thing in this file should be the following: [setup]
ccp=0
Save this text file in the root of 'c'. Load your Win95 cd-rom., switch to its
directory & type
setup c:\filename.txt (ex: d:\setup c:\win95.txt)
Hope this
helps!
