there is a larger format program for floppies that will allow for more than 1.44 
MB on the floppy.  if the 95 install files would fit on only about 30 floppies, I 
would think that using winzip to create a zip file on floppies of the install files 
would work. then you would not need to reformat your floppies. then just unzip them 
onto the hard drive on your non-CDROM system.  Al 

p.s. here is a web page that describes how to put the 95 cd onto floppies for use 
in an install of 95 w/o CDROM :http://www.btinternet.com/%7Erobert.bale1/bkup/win95backup.htm
