Lee,
Thanks for your help, hoping you can help me out some more. I followed your instructions
and was able to find the match for the cdrom, it is reading from the drive, I copied
all the files you specified. This is where I am stuck, screen is as follows:
a:\>c:
c:\>cd w95
c:\w95>setup
message comes up bad command or file name
?????
do you know what the problem could be?
Thanks, Mark
