Pick the closest match to your CDROM drive and hope for the best. You should then
see a screen where your CDROM drive is given a drive letter (example E below). Later
on in the boot process when you get to the A:\ prompt, type in:
dir E:\win95
and the CD drive should spin up and show you a list of mostly .cab files. If not,
reboot and pick another Drive type. If that don't get it done, find out your exact
CDROM type and get the exact DOS mode driver for it and place it on the bootdisk
manually as per instructions at http://www.bootdisk.com site.
Best installations happen when you install from the hard drive instead of the CDROM.
To do this, at the A:\ prompt type:
md c:\w95
copy e:\win95\*.* c:\w95
when that is done do:
c:
cd w95
setup
