Default windows 95 on floppies

Hi, I have a laptop with a floppy drive and no cd/rom drive.
I want to install win 95.
I have 95 on cd
Is there a way to transfer the system onto floppies?
I have very limited experience with this sort of thing.
Thank you
Best regards
hammy

Yes there is, but I can't help there. Others will jump on that I guess.
I use direct cable connection and Dos to copy the cd to the hard disk of the
laptop.
Direct cable connection from lpt1 to lpt1 on the laptop and a dos boot disk
that has the line "device= path intersvr.exe" in config.sys and
"intersvr.exe" in autoexec.bat for the laptop
Later when windows is running the program direct cable connection will allow
me to copy more from cd's to the laptop. But that's just my way, I don't
like floppies and do like Dos.

Oops Cable at your local computerstore for about $15-$20 Special cable with
one crossed connection. Could even be made at home, but I forgot how, Google
will help there.

Hammy:

Try the procedure described he

http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w95_floppies.html

It involves formatting the floppies in a special way that increases
there capacity. You need *GOOD QUALITY* floppies for this to work.

Memory suggests this is wrong, if Win98 Fan was
talking about the InterLink/InterServ apps in DOS.v.6.
The CONFIG.SYS line loads a *.SYS file (not an EXE
file) and I think AUTOEXEC.BAT loads the EXE of
the complementary file. MS's DOS manual approx.
1990 had an important error or omission so there was
in the 1990s a public domain help article (written by
me) on how to use InterLink . . . that may still exist somewhere.

Thank you Don,
I made the disks a long-time ago and kinda forgot the right set-up, but it
has helped me to get any software on to any hard disk as long as there is a
floppy disk station and a printer port. Dos version 6.22 as far as I can
remember.
But now you make me wonder, Old Timers already? So I check it and ? Oops
just checked it on the last one I installed that way
So config.sys on the server end(the one without a cd drive) has the line
"device=A:\interlnk.exe" no interlnk.sys needed there or even on the
disk.
Of course Windows doesn't like the all dos program so the one with the cd
drive has to start in MSDos and the driver for the CD loaded. Then just
type "intersvr" with the proper path of course and you see the other
computers disks and can copy what ever you like if you have lots of time.
Fast is different
