Before attacking this, you might want to get Scot Finne's _The Underground
Guide to Windows 95_ (Addison Wesley, March 1996. ~US$23H. Hard to believe,
but I can't find an ISBN number anywhere, including the back cover. Maybe
look at http://www.aw.com/devpress/)

I don't do much with W95, thank goodness, but a very in-deep friend says
this book is fantastic.

It has a whole chapter on notebooks and W95, with a lot on instillation.

He recommends the floppy version of W95 only if you have absolutly no
access to a CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM version has lots of stuff the floppy
version does not.
