Presumably from a CD, not from floppies.

Indeed. In my depot jockey days, a client was a early adopter of Windows NT 3.1 in the early '90s. The company did not want to spring $400 (or whatever) for the CD drive, and I had to install from floppies. On disk 27 there was a fatal error. This was a mainstream Compaq server tower, so it wasn't a boutique oddball config. Microsoft's solution was to get a CD drive. Argh!

Wile cleaning out the basement, I just recently tossed my win 95 and 98 floppies. Lots of memories. Some old games ran and played really well on the old systems.

Times were simpler and, in some respects, more complex then.
