You haven't lived until you've installed OS/2 from 26 floppies, and then realized the 24th floppy was bad.

Fun times.

The Windows 95 floppy install was so bad it was worth borrowing a CD-ROM drive from another computer to run the install from instead.

Yeah, I remember the Window 95 beta with a tons of floppy disks

I remember doing some weird share thing in MSDOS with a serial cable to accomplish this -- one machine had the CDROM drive...

That is only the base OS, then proceed to install one of the Visual Age products, and other productivity software. :)

Hence why I duplicated all my floppies and would only install from those copies.
