  Analyzing Your Computer
  [Return] (select Next button)

  Get Connected
  [Return] (select Next button)

  Select Components

Well, you have to decide this one.  Remember, use [Down-Arrow],
[Tab], and [Space].  [Tab] to the Next button when you're done
and type [Return].

  Network Configuration
  '[Return]' (to take default config, or change it as you want)

  Computer Settings
  '[Return]' (to take current settings)

  Startup Disk

If you do NOT want to create a Startup Disk, you could type

  '[Down-Arrow]'  (select No, I do not want a startup disk)
  '[Return]'      (select Next button)

If you DO want to create a Startup disk.

  '[Return]'      (select Next button)

Either way, the following appears,

  Start Copying Files
  '[Return]'

+- If you optioned to create a Startup Disk, the following appears:
|
|    Label a disk "Windows 95 Startup Disk"...
|
|  Click the floppyA icon to eject.  Now copy any floppy image file
|  which has a 1.44M format on it, onto your floppy working file.
|  Win '95 will erase any files on it.  Use the 'win95_boot' file,
|  since it's a 1.44M format.
|
|    unix-> /bin/cp -f win95_boot 1.44
|
|  Click on floppyA to insert.
|
|    '[Return]'
|    Setup has finished creating your startup disk...
|    '[Return]'  (select OK button)
|
|    Please insert the disk labeled 'Windows 95 Disk 2'...
|
|  Click the floppyA icon to eject.
|  Copy the working floppy disk image file to something signifying
|  it's the startup disk.  Then copy the disk#2 image file onto the
|  working file.
|
|    unix-> cp 1.44 win95_startup
|    unix-> /bin/cp -f win95_d2 1.44
|
|  Click on floppyA to insert.
|
+-   '[Return]'  (select OK button)

In any case (startup disk or not), the rest is very methodical.

+->  Please insert the disk labeled 'Windows 95 Disk 3'...
|
|    (Click the floppyA icon to eject.)
|      unix-> /bin/cp -f win95_d3 1.44
|    (Click the floppyA icon to insert.)
|
|    '[Return]'  (select OK button)
|
|  Just repeat this process, until SETUP has asked for all
+- 13 floppies in the distribution.  Of course, change
   'win95_d3' to each number in the succession; win95_d4,
   win95_d4, ... , win95_d13.

After asking for all the floppy disks in the distribution,
Windows '95 will let you know it's going to restart your
computer.  Acknowledge this, and then bochs will bomb upon
attempt to reboot.

Fire up bochs again.  The 'boot:c' is not necessary if
you have the 'boot: c' directive in your '.bochsrc' file.

  unix-> bochs boot:c

You'll get a screen full of garbage text for a while Win '95
updates your configuration files.  I'm not handling that
text screen mode correctly.  Then the window switches to
a blank graphics screen (say 2 to 5 minutes).

  Windows 95 is now setting up your hardware and any Plug
  and Play devices you may have.

You'll see the magnifying glass circulating about the
picture (icon) representing your computer for quite
awhile.

  Windows is now setting up the following items...

  Setting up Control Panel
  Programs on the Start menu
  Windows Help
  MS-DOS program settings
  Time zone

You can play with the Time Zone if you want.  I just
accept the one that comes up.  I like being on Tijuana
time anyhow!

  '[Return]'

  Set up printer

Bochs doesn't support printers yet, so Cancel this

  '[Tab]'
  '[Return]'  (select Cancel button)

  Windows 95 is now finalizing settings for your computer

Windows '95 should now display the 'Welcome to Windows 95'
screen, and give you one of it's helpful 'Did you know' tips.
My suggestion, is for you to shutdown Win '95 at this point,
and make a backup copy of your hard drive image file.
Otherwise, you are done, though you may want to check
out the section on getting rid of the 'splash' screen upon
boot.  In that case, shutdown is necessary also.

  '[Return]'  (selects Close button)
  '[Ctrl]', '[Esc]', '[^Esc]', '[^Ctrl]'

It's helpful to give slight intentional delays when typing
multi-key sequences like the one above.  The '^' means a
release of that key.

  'u'  (shortcut for Shut Down)

  Shut down Windows...
  '[Return]'  (select Yes button)

Your window changes to a different size graphics mode.  The
message 'It is now safe to shutdown your computer' will be
displayed briefly, but then the screen goes blank due to
bochs not handling something in that graphics mode correctly.

Power down by clicking on the 'Power' button in the bochs
GUI toolbar.  The bochs window disappears as bochs stops
execution.  Make a backup copy.

  unix-> cp 62M 62M.win95.installedOK


Getting rid of Win '95 'splash' screen upon bootup.
===================================================

When Win '95 boots up, it typically displays the intro
screen while it boots (splash screen).  It uses a graphics
mode I don't handle well, mostly because it's not important
enough to spend the time on it.  You can tell Win '95
not to display this screen anyways, which I prefer.

Using the MTOOLS package, if you have a drive letter
associated with your hard disk image file, for example:

  ~/.mtoolsrc: drive c: file="/path/62M" partition=1

You can look at and modify the contents of your drive
image file, using commands on your workstation.

WARNING: You MUST power down bochs if you are running
WARNING: any software that does any kind of disk caching!!!
WARNING: Yes, Windows '95 does disk caching.

Look at the attributes associated with c:/MSDOS.SYS.

  unix-> mattrib c:/MSDOS.SYS

Copy it to your workstation, with the text mode translation
flag.

  unix-> mcopy -t c:/MSDOS.SYS .

Edit the file, adding "Logo=0" under the Options section.
Save the file.

  [Options]
  BootMulti=1
  BootGUI=1
  Network=0
  Logo=0      <------- add this line

Copy it back to your disk image.  Restore proper
attributes to what they were before.  For example.

  unix-> mcopy -t MSDOS.SYS c:/
  unix-> mattrib -a +s +h +r c:/MSDOS.SYS


Finishing up after the install
==============================

You should now delete any temporary copies of the floppy disk
image files, used to facilitate installation.

  unix-> /bin/rm -i win95_boot win95_d*

OK, you're done!!!  Make sure you tell bochs to boot the
hard drive either in '.bochsrc' or by the 'boot:c' option,
and fire it up.

  unix-> bochs


Enjoy!
