If you don't have a filepost account, then select the "Low Speed

Download" link, wait for the count-down, answer the captcha, and then

download the file. Each of the above files is about 48 mb in size,

except the last file will be smaller.



You can only download one file at a time if you don't have a filepost

account. When the download is finished you can immediately start

downloading the next file only if you are able to change your IP

address, which is usually possible if you disconnect and then reconnect

your DSL or cable modem. If you don't want to do that, or if your ISP

normally doesn't change your IP assignment when your internet connection

goes down, then you'll have to wait for some time (sometimes an hour,

sometimes a day) between downloads.



If filepost spawns other browser windows as you click on those links, it

will be harmless advertising and you can close them immediately. I

already block them with hosts file entries so offhand I don't recall

what a "non-immunized" visit to filepost looks like.



You will need winrar to decompress these files. I don't know if winzip

will do that. When the process is finished, you will have this file:



WINDOWS_95.ISO (308 mb).



You can burn that to a CD-R, or use a program like WinImage

(http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm) to extract the files from the

ISO.

This is the 9'th CD (disk I) of an 9-CD archive of Windows 95

and 98 platform SDK, DDK and tools. The ISO image of this CD

is about 308 mb in size and has been split into 5 .RAR files,

each about 50 mb in size.

Changing IP address is not so necessary after all to start downloading with the default 30 second wait. You do need to close all browser windows and then delete cookies and history though.

All 9x Windows installation CDs were convertible to floppy installation disks except for ME and with no small amount of troubles 98, but 95 is a breeze to do this way. You'll need to use FDformat.exe to format the floppies to an extreme size that will hold just exactly the size of the CAB files found on the 95 installation CD and suddenly you have a set of floppies that will install Windows - just that easy, the first disk contains all the files in the Win95 folder that are not cab files, again sized exactly to fit one of these specially formatted floppies. More details that I have forgotten exist within this group, search for me, search for FDformat and eventually with luck you'll find the original post where all the finer details show how to do both 95 and 98. ME was so big it wouldn't fit on floppies so MS gave up on this idea that mostly nobody even knew about in the first place. I do have a set of the first 95 on floppy from MS - it's a whittled down version of 95a and you don't even want it in the first place, it's been whittled down so far. 95c is where you want to be if using 95 anyway and you can do that with floppies.
