It is often a good idea to copy your installation files from you Window disks or CD (3.1, 3.11, 95 or 98)because the files often install much quicker of your hard drive than of your CD ROM. Unless, of coarse, you have a 40x.

They are the files with the extention .cab for cabinet files(unofficially called compressed a bunch files)copy then from the cd to a directory you create on your hard drive called options and the subdirectory Win 95/98 or the version of Windows you run. This didn't work for me in Windows(copying the files), I always do it in DOS. My friend does it in Windows. It works in both.
