Hmm, I remember installing Windows 3.1 (or possibly 3.0) from 360Kb 
floppies - but it was only around ten or so disks I think. By the 
Windows 95 days things had moved on and a CD install was more common 
(although install from 3.5" HD floppy was still available)

Can Windows do a network install yet? Plus of course MS *still* don't 
have a clue as to the difference between OS and application :)

cheers
