Installing Win95 to a laptop without a CD-ROM drive

Is there a way to install Win95 to a laptop that does not have a CDROM? The laptop has a network PCMCIA card and is connected to a network. Can I install using another computer's CD-ROM? Or is there a way to create install floppies from my Win95 cdrom?

Does your laptop meet the minimum requirements for installing Win95?

If you are going touse your laptop on the network frequently, I suggest copying the contents of the Win95 directory and all sub-directories from the CD-ROM onto the server and then sharing the directory out as "Win95".

Once setup, any files required at later stages by the laptop (i.e. after printer driver installation) will automatically be pulled down from this location on the server!
