@dfx Yeah, I want to make it one day! Tried it on the late 90's, but at least one of the floppy was bad, it didn't worked 😅

@dfx I remember installing windows from floppies. Forgot if it was 95 or 98 but at disk 28 or so, there was a problem with the floppy. No install for me...

@dfx Well that kinda was on the tail end of Windows anyhow. AFAIK you could also get some Linux distributions on diskettes back then. Often with something like 60-90 diskettes.

@dfx I remember installing Windows 95 from floppies and that was bad enough. I don't think I ever did a floppy install for Windows 98.

@dfx I once tried a floppy install when the CD drive broke. Regrettably, I ran out of floppies before I was able to create a full set.
