    What I did was to install a scsi drive from a PC, formatted with
DOS, of course, and containing windoz and all my dos and windoz apps.
Then I just mounted it and had VPC use it as F: drive and did and xcopy
to copy stuff over to the "C:\" drive image. But I'd doubt you'd have
that much trouble installing XY from floppies -- as I recall, it's not a
problem doing it in DOS, only when trying to install it on a w95
machine, right?
